The Finite Element Analysis of Shells - Fundamentals

by Dominique Chapelle, Klaus-Jürgen Bathe, Chapelle

Book Overview

This book presents a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate finite element procedures. With a view towards the synergy that results from physical and mathematical understanding, the book focuses on the fundamentals of shell theories, their mathematical bases and finite element discretizations. The complexity of the physical behaviors of shells is analysed, and the difficulties...
