Mechanics of Plates and Shells

Equations of motion from classical Kirchoff plate theory, with solutions for cylindrical bending, buckling, and natural vibration of plate strips, rectangular plates and circular plates. Navier, Levy and Rayleigh-Ritz solutions for rectangular plates under various boundary conditions. First and third order shear deformation plate theories with analytical and numerical solutions. Finite element models based on both classical and shear deformation plate theories.
