VOLUMES BY CYLINDRICAL SHELLS

In the disk method, the axis of revolution must be adjacent to the region being rotated and is the axis of the independent variable;  in the method of cylindrical shells, the axis of revolution might be separated from the region being rotated and is the axis of the dependent variable.

USE DISKS USE SHELLS

BASIC DIFFERENCE IN CONCEPT:

Disk method divides the solid into infinitesimal flat cross‐sectional disks.

Shell method divides the solid into infinitesimal curved cylindrical shells.

Then . . . 

circumference of the base circle with radius x

a solid of revolution

surface area of the cylindrical shell at x (since, if it is cut open and rolled out flat, it is a rectangle of length and width 

AREA =

approximate volume of the “infinitesimal cylindrical shell” at x.  Then “add up” all of the infinitesimal volumes to get the volume, V, of the solid:

VERTICAL AXIS OF REVOLUTION

HORIZONTAL AXIS OF REVOLUTION
