The asymptotic equilibrium equations of shells with geometric imperfections which take the
interaction of buckling modes in a neighborhood of the critical point into account are derived.
This derivation is based on the principle of virtual works and a Timoshenko type theory of
shells. The obtained system of equations can be used for the analysis of a nonlinear deformation
of shells with imperfections in the prebuckling and initial postbuckling states.
