Beschreibung

This book presents a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate finite ele ment procedures. With a view towards the synergy that results from physical and mathematical understanding, the book focuses on the fundamentals of sh ell theories, their mathematical bases and finite element discretizations. The complexity of the physical behaviors of shells is analysed, and the dif ficulties to obtain uniformly optimal finite element procedures are identif ied and studied. Some modern finite element methods are presented for linea r and nonlinear analyses. In this Second Edition the authors give new devel opments in the field and - to make the book more complete - more explanatio ns throughout the text, an enlarged section on general variational formulat ions and new sections on 3D-shell models, dynamic analyses, and triangular elements. The analysis of shells represents one of the most challenging fie lds in all of mechanics, and encompasses various fundamental and generally applicable components. Specifically, the material presented in this book re garding geometric descriptions, tensors and mixed variational formulations is fundamental and widely applicable also in other areas of mechanics.
