Description
Written by a well-known group of researchers from Moscow, this book is a study of the asymptotic approximations of the 3-D dynamical equations
of elasticity in the case of thin elastic shells of an arbitrary shape. Vibration of shells is a very useful theory in space techniques,
submarine detection, and other high-tech domains.
Dynamics of Thin Walled Elastic Bodies shows that refined shell theories
used in engineering practice give a distorted picture of the high-frequency or non-stationary dynamics of shells, and offers new, mathematically
more consistent ways of describing the dynamics of shells.
Audience:
Researchers at naval research establishments and aerospace facilities, as well as civil (structural) engineers and researchers in the fields of mechanics, acoustics, and applied mathematics.
