โฆ Synopsis
...With the current trend of large structures of complex shapes, this book will be helpful in covering all aspects of imperfection analysis in a single source. The book, which is possibly the first in the topic, will be an asset to practising design engineers, research scientists as a reference book and as a text book for post-graduate studies....The publishers deserve appreciation for the quality printing and illustrations and alos bringing out the book on this useful practical topic.

Thin-walled structures are designed with advanced numerical analysis techniques and constructed using sophisticated fabrication processes. There are, however, a number of factors that may result in a structure that is not exactly coincident with what was considered during the design calculations. Th
