In this book a detailed and systematic treatment of asymptotic methods in the theory of plates and shells is presented. The main features of the book are the ba

This book presents a hybrid approach to the mechanics of thin bodies. Classical theories of rods, plates and shells with constrained shear are based on asymptot

In this book the authors show that it is possible to construct efficient computationally oriented models of multi-parameter complex systems by using asymptotic

Shells are basic structural elements of modern technology. Examples of shell structures include automobile bodies, domes, water and oil tanks, pipelines, ship h

This book presents a theoretical approach that allows the analysis of structures with magnetorheological and electrorheological layers, and shows, with the help
