Elastic shells are pervasive in everyday life. Examples of these
thin-walled structures range from automobile hoods to basketballs, veins
and arteries, and soft drink cans. This book provides the physical and
mathematical basis for the quantitative analysis of the behavior of such
shells and presents numerous applications. As a second edition, it not
only brings all the material of the first edition entirely up to date;
it also adds two entirely new chapters on general shell theory and
general membrane theory. Aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineers, as
well as applied mathematicians, will find this book a clearly written
and thorough information source on shell theory.
