Overview
Elastic structures, conceived as slender bodies able to transmit loads, have been studied by scientists and engineers for centuries. This book offers a critically filtered collection of the most significant theories dealing with elastic slender bodies, as well as the mathematical models, that have been developed over time. The book also shows how these models are used to solve practical problems involving elastic structures with particular emphasis on nonlinear problems. Chapters progress from simpler to more complicated structures, including rods, strings, membranes, plates, and shells. As a collection of interesting and important problems in elastic structures, this book will appeal to a broad range of scientists and engineers working in the area of structural mechanics.Book Details
