    A nonlinear shell theory is derived for large strain - large bending deformations of shells composed of highly nonlinear materials. Expressions for the stress resultants and stress couples are presented. The equilibrium equations are obtained as weak solution of the stationary principle of total potential energy. A modified Kirchhoff hypothesis is used which accounts for thickness changes as well as for a shift in the location of the original midsurface of the shell. As example the eversion of a spherical shell is calculated numerically.
