A geometrically linear theory of shells with continuously distributed dislocations was developed within the framework of Love's concepts. A set of equations was derived which described the equilibrium of the shell for a given density of dislocations. The results which were obtained could be used to simulate surface crystals, films, cell membranes, and other two-dimensional objects. The theory of discrete isolated dislocations in shells was worked out for both small and large strains.
