Presents the most recent principles of thin plate and shell theories--emphasizing novel analytical and numerical methods for solving linear and nonlinear plate and shell dilemmas, new theories for the design and analysis of thin plate-shell structures, and real-world numerical solutions, mechanics, and plate and shell models for engineering applications. Offers state-of-the-art computer processes for finite difference, finite element, boundary element, and boundary collocation methods, as well as other variational and numerical methods. Contains end-of-chapter examples and problem/solution sets, a catalog of solutions for cylindrical and spherical shells, and tables of the most commonly used plates and shells.
