This is the only book to offer concise, unified physical interpretations of the fundamental engineering aspects of shell and plate behavior. Designed to help readers develop the physical and mathematical understanding required to perform analysis and design in an interactive computer- assisted environment, it uses an approach based on Vector Calculus (reducing the need for complicated trigonometry) and provides examples from many fields. Covers Membrane Theory (Applications to Symmetrically Loaded Shells of Revolution; Applications to Nonsymmetrically Loaded Shells of Revolution; and Applications to Shells of Translation); Deformations; Constitutive Laws, Boundary Conditions, and Displacements; Energy and Approximate Methods; Bending of Plates: Displacement Formulation; Bending and Stability of Plates; Shell Bending: Applications to Circular Cylindrical Shells; and Bending Theory and Stability of Shells. Focuses on classical examples that illustrate the basic resistance mechanisms of selected configurations — without undue mathematical complications. of boundary constraints. Provides examples from many fields — e.g., concrete roofs, steel tanks, pressure vessels. For anyone interested in the fundamental engineering aspects of shell and plate behavior.

The study ofthree-dimensional continua has been a traditional part of graduate education in solid mechanics for some time. With rational simplifications to the three-dimensional theory of elasticity, the engineering theories of medium-thin plates and of thin shells may be derived and applied to a large class of engi neering structures distinguished by a characteristically small dimension in one direction. Often, these theories are developed somewhat independently due to their distinctive geometrical and load-resistance characteristics. On the other hand, the two systems share a common basis and might be unified under the classification of Surface Structures after the German term Fliichentragwerke. This common basis is fully exploited in this book. A substantial portion of many traditional approaches to this subject has been devoted to constructing classical and approximate solutions to the governing equations of the system in order to proceed with applications. Within the context of analytical, as opposed to numerical, approaches, the limited general ity of many such solutions has been a formidable obstacle to applications involving complex geometry, material properties, and/or loading. It is now relatively routine to obtain computer-based solutions to quite complicated situations. However, the choice of the proper problem to solve through the selection of the mathematical model remains a human rather than a machine task and requires a basis in the theory of the subject.

Introduction to Linear Elasticity

Introduction to Linear Elasticity, 3rd Edition provides an applications-oriented grounding in the tensor-based theory of elasticity for students in mechanical, civil, aeronautical, biomedical engineering, as well as materials and earth science. The book is distinct from the traditional text aimed at graduate students in solid mechanics by introducing its subject at a level appropriate for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate students. The author's presentation allows students to apply the basic notions of stress analysis and move on to advanced work in continuum mechanics, plasticity, plate and shell theory, composite materials, and finite method analysis.

In its revised 3rd Edition, this book provides a comprehensive applications-oriented grounding in the tensor-based theory of elasticity for students in mechanical, civil, aeronautical, biomedical engineering, as well as materials and earth science.

Physics

This augmented and updated fourth edition introduces a new complement of computational tools and examples for each chapter and continues to provide a grounding in the tensor-based theory of elasticity for students in mechanical, civil, aeronautical and biomedical engineering and materials and earth science. Professor Gould’s proven approach allows faculty to introduce this subject early on in an educational program, where students are able to understand and apply the basic notions of mechanics to stress analysis and move on to advanced work in continuum mechanics, plasticity, plate and shell theory, composite materials and finite element mechanics. With the introductory material on the use of MATLAB, students can apply this modern computational tool to solve classic elasticity problems. The detailed solutions of example problems using both analytical derivations and computational tools helps student to grasp the essence of elasticity and practical skills of applying the basic mechanics theorem.
