✦ Synopsis

New York - Basel: Marcel Dekker, Inc., 2001. — 658 p.

This book is intended as a text for graduate and postgraduate students in civil, architectural, mechanical, chemical, aeronautical, aerospace, and ocean engineering, and engineering mechanics. It can also serve as a reference book for practicing engineers, designers, and stress analysts who are involved in the analysis and design of thin-walled structures.
As a textbook, it contains enough materal for a two-semester senior or graduate course on the theory and applications of thin plates and shells. Also, a special effort has been made to have the chapters as independent from one another as possible, so that a course can be taught in one semester by selecting appropriate chapters, or through equivalent self-study.
The textbook is divided into two parts. Part I (Chapters 1–9) presents plate bending theory and its application and Part II (Chapters 10–20) covers the theory, analysis, and principles of shell structures.
