Shell  technology has been enhanced by the development of new materials and  prefabrication schemes. Despite the mechanical advantages and  aesthetic value offered by shell structures, many engineers and  architects are relatively unacquinted with shell behaviour and design.  \u003cbr\u003e  This book familiarizes the engineering and architectural student, as  well as the practicing engineer and architect, with the behaviour and  design aspects of shell structures. Three aspects are presented: the  Physical behaviour, the structural analysis, and the design of shells  in a simple, integrated, and yet concise fashion. Thus, the book  contains three major aspects of shell engineering: (1) physical  understanding of shell behaviour; (2) use of applied shell theories;  and (3) development of design methodologies together with shell design  examples. \u003cbr\u003e  The theoretical tools required for rational analysis of shells are  kept at a modest level to give a sound grasp of the fundamentals of  shell behaviour and, at the same time, an understanding of the related  theory, allowing it to be applied to actual design problems. To  achieve a physical understanding of complex shell behaviour,  quantitative presentations are supplemented by qualitative discussions  so that the reader can grasp the `physical feeling' of shell  behaviour. A number of analysis and detailed design examples are also  worked out in various chapters, making the book a useful reference  manual. \u003cbr\u003e  This book can be used as a textbook and\/or a reference book in  undergraduate as well as graduate university courses in the fields of  civil, mechanical, architectural, aeronautical, and materials  engineering. It can also be used as a reference and design-analysis  manual for the practicing engineers and architects. The text is  supplemented by a number of appendices containing tables of shellanalysis and design charts and tables. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1992-09-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792319504\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-017-1227-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 234cm x156cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 424\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46606798848140,"sku":"9780792319504","price":296.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792319504.jpg?v=1773276669","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9780792319504","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
