The paper deals with the form analysis of towered shells of revolution undergoing dynamic motion as an inverse eigen problem. The continuous shell of revolution is modeled as a discrete spring-mass system where each element of the structure is approximated by a cylindrical shell. Each of the cylindrical shells' radii and height dimensions are determined by applying numerical inverse eigen problem methods to the prescribed natural frequencies or modal shapes. The change in resonant frequencies are manifested by a change in form of the multi-degree of freedom shell of revolution tower. Likewise a change in vibration normal mode will result to a change in tower structural shape.
