A mathematical model of homogeneous elastic shells is consider under kinematics Reissner–Mindlin type. Through direct (coordinateless) methods of the tensor calculus equations of equilibrium are obtained in terms of displacements in an arbitrary (not necessarily orthogonal) coordinate system, taking into account the asymmetry of the location of the front surface. For a spherical shells proposed procedure for constructing solutions, based on the method of spectral decomposition, which describes the stress-strain state at the potential power and torque static loads.
