Advances in the Mechanics of Plates and Shells The Avinoam Libai Anniversary Volume

The book brings together original contributions by leading authors, covering a wide spectrum of current research on plates and shells. The material included in that volume appears here for the first time and is bound to become a classic in the field. Papers cover aspects of non-linear response of plates and shells, buckling and vibrations, composite structures, material nonlinearitites, advanced numerical methods and non-standard constitutive models. Future directions of research emerge from that collection of papers as well as applied practical engineering techniques. This volume is suitable for researchers and professional engineers.Durband, D. is the author of 'Advances in the Mechanics of Plates and Shells The Avinoam Libai Anniversary Volume' with ISBN 9780792367857 and ISBN 0792367855.
