Thin-walled structures are designed with advanced numerical analysis techniques and constructed using sophisticated fabrication processes. There are, however, a

This book is intended primarily as a teaching text, as well as a reference for individual study in the behavior of thin walled structural components. Such struc

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

Thin-plated structures are used extensively in building construction, automobile, aircraft, shipbuilding and other industries because of a number of favourable

This book introduces designers to the theoretical aspects of the behaviour of thin-walled structures, and then shows how some codes of practice have incorporate
