England] This paper examines the finite plane-strain deformations of a thick semicircular shell which is held fixed along its base and is loaded symmetrically by a rigid plate. The shell is composed of an elastic fibre-reinforced composite material in which the fibres reinforce the shell in the circumferential direction. The composite is assumed to be an 'ideal' material which is inextensible in the fibre direction and is incompressible. The deformations are followed through to the final collapsed state of the shell. An application of these results in the case of an under-inflated vehicle tyre is considered.
