Theory of Plates and Shells 1st Edition by Bhavikatti 8122434924 9788122434927

Essential for those who are into the extensive field of structural engineering, the Theory of Plates and Shells expounds the classical plate theory. The plate theory refers to the mathematical descriptions of the physical behavior displayed by plates and is considered a classical theory in the field of structural engineering.

According to the book, even though design engineers might be adept at analyzing a number of finite element packages, they need to understand the classical method in order to improve their overall skills. The Theory of Plates and Shells contains a number of different chapters such as Finite Difference Method, Membrane Theory for Shells of Translation, Fourier Series of Loadings and Plates of Other Shapes. This book is a handy textbook for students who are pursuing their Master’s in Structural Engineering. The first edition of the Theory of Plates and Shells was published in 2012 by New Age International Publishers and is available in hardcover.
