Presents a FORTRAN IV program listing and flow chart for the static and dynamic small deflection analysis of axisymmetric thin shells of revolution. The program permits free and forced vibration investigation as well as static analysis and presents enough information to enable a user to assemble a program for particular needs. The program listed is not completely general as far as shell geometry and boundary conditions are concerned.
