Shell structures have solid surfaces. They are hollow and there shape is often curved.
Eg: Eggs, helmets, conch shell etc.
Some of the examples of shell structures are storage tanks (water, oil, gas), domed roofs, and pressure vessels.

Examples of shell structures include eggshells, seashells, and the domes of some buildings like the Pantheon in Rome. These structures derive their strength from their curved shape, distributing forces evenly across the surface. Shell structures are commonly used in architecture, industrial design, and marine engineering.
Atoms have electron shell structures, and some molluscs have bony shell structures; do you mean one of these?

Shell structures are curved thin shell forms made from reinforced concrete or steel, known for their strength and efficiency in transferring loads. Frame structures are composed of interconnected beams and columns to support loads. Geodesic forms combine the strength of shell structures with the efficiency of frame structures, using a network of interconnected triangular elements to create a geodesic dome or structure.
An element with a complete valence electron shell is a noble gas. Noble gases have a full outer electron shell, making them stable and non-reactive. Examples include helium, neon, and argon.
A shell element is a finite element used in structural analysis to model thin-walled structures like plates and shells. It is a two-dimensional element with properties defined in terms of thickness, material properties, and geometry, making it suitable for analyzing structures subjected to bending or membrane loads. Shell elements are commonly used in engineering simulations to accurately predict the behavior of complex structural components.
Examples of materials that absorb water include sponges, paper towels, cotton fabrics, and soil. These materials have porous structures that allow them to soak up and retain water.
