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.

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:
