Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric Shell Structures: Theory, Practice and Software

by Ernest Hinton, Johann Sienz, Mustafa Zakca

Book Overview

This book will sell because shell structures are of increasing importance to structural, civil, aerospace and automotive engineers (among others) owing to their excellent strength-per-unit-mass ratios which in turn lead to fuel efficiencies, lower material cost, reduced structural stresses etc. How excellent those ratios are depends on the optimization of the structures concerned; the subject of Analysis and Optimization of Prismatic and Axisymmetric...
