Abstract
The dynamics of general relativistic timelike spherically symmetric thin shells of matter is considered, putting special emphasis on the physical interpretation of the models and, therefore, on the dependence of the dynamical behavior upon then the choice of the equation of state. From this point of view the general formalism is reviewed both in the Israel’s and in the canonical (Lagrangian and Hamiltonian) approach. Known exact solutions corresponding to closed equations of state are reviewed as well, and a new, wide class of nonlinear barotropic solutions is introduced and discussed in detail.
