Discusses thin-walled shells, focusing on the question of how to connect the problems of deformation, buckling and failure, usually treated separately, and demonstrating their mutual interaction on some examples of dynamically loaded composite cylindrical shells.
Buckling of thin metal shells
Due to the inherent properties of thin shelled metal structures, buckling is the main cause of failure and is therefore a topic of great concern. This book is the assimilation of a wealth of research, experience and knowledge on the subject. Itis relevant to those involved with …
This book presents the various approaches in establishment the basic equations of one- and two-dimensional structural elements. In addition, the boundaries of validity of the theories and the estimation of errors in approximate theories are given. Many contributions contain not …
