Shell-like Structures

Zusatztext

The book presents mathematical and mechanical aspects of the theory of plates and shells, applications in civil, aero-space and mechanical engineering, as well in other areas. The focus relates to the following problems:<div> comprehensive review of the most popular theories of plates and shells,</div><div> relations between three-dimensional theories and two-dimensional ones,</div><div> presentation of recently developed new refined plates and shells theories (for example, the micropolar theory or gradient-type theories),</div><div> modeling of coupled effects in shells and plates related to electromagnetic and temperature fields, phase transitions, diffusion, etc.,</div><div> applications in modeling of non-classical objects like, for example, nanostructures,</div><div> presentation of actual numerical tools based on the finite element approach.<br></div>
