Theoretical and Practical Concepts in Plates and Shells

Plates and shells are widely used in the structure. If the thickness of the element is less than 10% of its other dimensions the element is a plate type. If this element is curved it is called a shell and if it is flat it is called a plate. Among the applications of plates and shells we can mention concrete slabs on floors runways bridge decks tanks gas transmission pipes and domes. This book in 7 sections examines the theory of plate and shell with problem solving. Classical theory plate ike strip circular plate and various mathematical solution methods are some of the topics of this book.
