Libai A., Simmonds J.G. The Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Shells

2nd Ed., CUP, 1998. - 553 pp., OCR.
Originally, we planned to write an entire second volume on general shell and membrane theory and to include an extensive discussion of variational, buckling, and thermoelastic theories, just as we had done in the first edition for shells of one spatial dimension. We also intended to discuss comparisons with three-dimensional theory as well as various approximate theories and their analytical solutions. This agenda proved to be too ambitious, so we have settled for the more reasonable goal of what we hope is a thorough (but readable and useful) treatment of the foundations of our subject.
