Solid frame structures are composed of interconnected members that provide support and stability, relying on the strength of the individual elements to bear loads. In contrast, shell structures have a thin, curved surface that distributes loads across the structure, often using minimal material for maximum strength. Shell structures are typically more efficient in resisting forces due to their shape, while solid frames rely on the rigidity of their components. Each type has its own advantages depending on the application and design requirements.
Shell structures are enclosed and hollow in the middle e.g. a snail shell or a house. Frame structures are open on the sides e.g. a tree or the Eiffel tower.
chairs are shell/solid structures because it is a solid and can be considered a frame
A shell structure supports its self and a frame structure does not support it self.

FRAME STRUCTURESFrame structures are structures that are made up of rigid (stiff, firm, difficult to bend) parts joined together to form something called a framework. These parts are known as members. There are lots of examples of frame structures such as a bridge - a bridge is a frame structure that spans a gap, and a bicycle is a frame structure that supports a load such as the mass of a person.SHELL STRUCTURESShell structures contain or protect things from the outside and are usually hollow inside. In a shell structure, the outside layer of the structure holds the whole object together. Examples of shell structures are the mug that holds your coffee, the snail shell which both protects and contains the snail, honeycomb which contains and protects bee's honey and shells of nuts.
If you want to know this because it is your homework (Yes, I am talking about Ms.Brooking's grade 7 class) then tough luck because you guys have to think about this yourself. But if not, thank you for your interest in structures, but I am sorry that I have not written an answer. Sincerely, Sarah .M
how can you tell the difference between a tortoise and a turtle by shell in picture
shell and frame
Well, honey, a teepee is technically a shell structure. It's made up of a flexible covering draped over a frame, which is pretty much the definition of a shell structure. So, yeah, you could say a teepee falls into the shell structure category.
C is a programming language. A shell is an interface.
