Theory of Plates and Shells

More about the book

The book provides a comprehensive analysis of plates and shells, structured into four sections. It begins with the fundamentals of elasticity theory and elastostatics, then explores the statics of disk structures, including isotropic and anisotropic disks. The third section focuses on plate structures, addressing various theories, buckling, and nonlinear analysis. Finally, it examines shells, differentiating between membrane and bending theories. Aimed at university students and engineering professionals, it serves as a valuable resource for both academic and practical applications in engineering science.
