We can have a function, like this one: And revolve it around the y-axis to get a solid like this: To find its volume we can add up "shells": Each shell has the curved surface area of a cylinder …

Shell integration (the shell method in integral calculus) is a method for calculating the volume of a solid of revolution, when integrating along an axis perpendicular to the axis of revolution.

The shell method is a technique for finding the volumes of solids of revolutions. It considers vertical slices of the region being integrated rather than horizontal ones, so it can greatly …

This video shows you how to write the radius and height function in terms of x and y by the use of a rectangle or shell.

This section develops another method of computing volume, the Shell Method. Instead of slicing the solid perpendicular to the axis of rotation creating cross-sections, we now slice it parallel to …

Imagine the solid composed of thin concentric "shells" or cylinders, somewhat like layers of an onion, with centers of the shells being the y y -axis. This process is called the Shell Method.
