Other and further obiects of mv invention will appear as the description thereof proceeds.
In the attached drawing, one embodiment of mv novel resilient shell is shown for the purpose of illustration only, and should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention, reference being had to the appended claims to deter- Y mine tbe scopeV of the present invention.
In the attached drawing, Figure 1 is a too view of an oblate elasticoid showing the meridional corrugations; and
Figure 2 is a perspective View of the oblate elasticoid of Figure 1.
In these figures, in which like reference characters indicate similar parts, there-is shown an 'oblate elasticoid. An'oblate elasticoid is a surface of revolution traced by a particular Eulers elastica in which the sides of each curve branch are perpendicular to the axis of symmetry, the curve having points of inexion at these intersections.
The ratio of the axes of the oblate elasticoid is pump stroke, cannot be utilized because for a given length of the meridional perimeter the shape of the oblate elasticoid of revolution has the maximum volume among all other possible shapes of solids of revolution, which, at the comparatively small strokes required at a substantially inextensible deformation, results in a smaller volume at Y the end of the stroke than at the beginning of the same. However, due to the same geometrical property of the maximum volume a greater positive volume displacement is had by using the oblate elasticoid as the shape of the resilient shell at the beginning of the stroke instead of at the end of the stroke. In these iigures I0 represents the surface of a suitable oblate elasticoid having an axis of symmetry II-I I. The surface I0 of the elasticoid is suitably corrugated in a plurality of equidistant meridional corrugations I2 having their largest dimension at the equator I3 of the oblate elasticoid and tapering down toward each pole I4 of the oblate elasticoid to their smallest dimension as at I5, a band of uncorrugated metal I6 being left symmetrically about each pole I4 for f clamping purposes and cut away circularly about poles I4 and I'I to receive the actuating members not shown.

The determination of the radii of curvature at any chosen point of the given deformed shell results from the fact, that in the case of an inextentional deformation, the measure of the curvature remains constant.
A further simplifying assumption-that of the linear cross-sectional stress distribution, is here also justied, due to the invariably large ratio of the radius of curvature to the wall-thickness of the shell (80 or more).
EVOLUTION OF EQUATIONS PERTAININ G TO THE OBLATE ELASTICOID L. Euler studied in his De curvis elasticis, methodus inveniendi (1744) the buckled shapes assumed by an elastic slender rod with free ends subjected to compression along its unbent--stationary-geometrical axis by two equal oppositing forces, each applied at a corresponding end. He called them the elastic curves and recognized nine different periodical shapes of same, symmetrical in respect to the stationary geometrical axis, depending on the angle quo-under which the individual curve crosses said axis. Because of our particular interest in an oblate lform We will consider only that shape of the Eulers elastic curve for which the sides of each curve-branch are perpendicular to the stationary axis, that is, for which the angle po=90, the curve having points of inflexion at these intersections. l I The derivation of the formal equations of the elastic curve has been exhaustively treated by W. Hess (Ueber das Gyroskop, Mathematische Annalen, vol. 19, 1882, pp, 121-154', and Ueber die Biegung und Drillung eines unendlich dunnen elastischen Stabes mit zwei gleichen Widerstanden, auf dessen freies Endeeine Kraft und ein um die Hauptachse ungleichen Widerstandes drehendes Kraftepaar einwirkt, Mathemasche Annalen, vol. 25, 1885, pp. 1-38). We will, there'- fore, confine ourselves to the interpretation and application of same to our particular problem.

Where @am denotes the incomplete elliptic K gral of the second ki and, because of Considering (23) and (24), the .Equation 22 will be now:
Putting in the numerical values of the complete integrals we have:
Because the Jacobinian doubly-periodic function Cos am(u+K) has a maximum value for u=K the dependent Variable :c (see the Equation 14) has also for u==K a maximum:
Since the value of the J acobinian'zeta-function Because of symmetry of the elastic curve in respect to these coordinates max. and yx=m4x., they can be regarded as semi-axes of same, especially when the origin of the Cartesian coordinates is moved to the point corresponding xmax.. Such transfer changes the Expression 25 as follows:
y={o.8472131 -0.4569466u'2zn(u+K)} (30) Ratio of the semi-axes of our elastic curve is:

In the foregoing specication and in the claims I refer to a thin walled shell 4and give the thickness of such a shell in a particular example. It is to be understood that by a thin walled shell I mean one in which the stresses in the mid-layer of the wall may be neglected for stress analysis purposes as is well understood and is thoroughly explained in works on stress analysis.
What is claimed is:
1. An expandable and contractible resilient motor vessel comprising a meridionally corrugated thin-walled shell of uniform thickness shaped generally as a surface of revolution of Eulers elastica rotated about its axis of symmetry.
2. An expandable and contractible resilient thin-walled vessel of uniform thickness shaped generally as an oblate elasticoid and meridionally corrugated, said elasticoid being formed by the revolution of Eulers elastica curve rotated about an axis of symmetry with the curve perpendicular to said axis at its intersection therewith.
3. An expandable and contractible resilient thin-walled vessel of uniform thickness shaped generally as an oblate elasticoid formed by the revolution of Eulers elastica curve about an axis of revolution and having equidistant meridional corrugations having their greatest dimension at the equator and tapering toward the poles of the oblate elasticoid.
4. An expandable and contractable resilient thin-walled vessel of uniform thickness shaped substantially as an oblate elasticoid, formed by revolution of Eulers elastica curve about an axis of symmetry, and having meridionally extending corrugations over a portion thereof.
26 5. A vessel as in claim 4 wherein said corrugations extend completely around the equator of said vessel and only partially between the poles thereof.
6. A vessel as in claim 5 wherein said corrugations extend partially between said poles symmetrically about the equator of said vessel.
7. A vessel as in claim 6 wherein said corrugations extend between two equal imaginary circles concentric respectively with said poles.
8. An expandable and contractable resilient thin-walled vessel of uniform thickness shaped substantially as an oblate elasticoid, formed by revolution of Eulers elastica curve about an axis of symmetry, andv having meridianally extending corrugations having a depth small in comparison to the equatorial diameter of said vessel and extending around the equator of said vessel, said corrugations being spaced apart by distances small in comparisonwith the circumference of said vessel on said equator.
9. A vessel as in claim 8 wherein said corrugations are most widely separated at said equator and converge toward the poles of said vessel.
