Book
Theory of Plates and Shells
This seminal work serves as a definitive guide to the mathematical and physical principles of plate and shell structures. The authors provide a rigorous treatment of the linear theory of plates, covering bending of long rectangular plates, purely elastic bending of circular and rectangular plates, and the effects of large deflections. The text extensively explores the general theory of shells, including the membrane theory of shells of revolution and the more complex bending theory of cylindrical shells. Renowned for its clarity and depth, the book integrates numerous examples of practical structural engineering problems, making it an indispensable resource for graduate students, researchers, and engineers involved in the design and analysis of aerospace, civil, and mechanical structures.
