## 🧠 1. Introduction

**Shell Theory — curved thin-structure mechanics** is a **linear inverse problem** whose unknown lives in **shell displacement 3D** space, within the **Koiter / Naghdi curved shell formulations** sub-domain of **Structural Mechanics**.

Measurements consist of mechanical vibrations or strain signals via a **dic accelerometers** sensing mechanism.

The forward operator applies, in order: L · curvature operator; L · mid surface strains operator; L · shell constitutive operator; pixel-level spatial averaging on the detector.

Observations are corrupted by additive Gaussian noise. Conditional stability; mismatch parameters dominate at Omega bounds.

## ⚙ 2. Forward Model

Physical chain: **x** → L · curvature → L · mid surface strains → L · shell constitutive → Spatial integration → **y** (detector).

```
y = ∫_A dA `L.shell_constitutive` `L.mid_surface_strains` `L.curvature` x + n,    n ~ 𝒩(0, σ²)
```

**Measurement DAG:**

| `L.mid_surface_strains` | L · mid surface strains operator |
| `L.shell_constitutive` | L · shell constitutive operator |
| `int.spatial` | Pixel-level spatial averaging on the detector |
