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.
