"The book is easy to read. The reviewer enjoyed reading the book. The book is a welcome reading for academics, researchers and professionals interested in a rigorous and comprehensive study of modeling nonlinear phenomena governed by PDEs. The book will also be useful to graduate and doctoral students in mechanical, civil and aeronautical engineering, and to applied mathematicians and physicists."

This book offers a valuable methodological approach to the state-of-the-art of the classical plate/shell mathematical models, exemplifying the vast range of mathematical models of nonlinear dynamics and statics of continuous mechanical structural members. The main objective highlights the need for further study of the classical problem of shell dynamics consisting of mathematical modeling, derivation of nonlinear PDEs, and of finding their solutions based on the development of new and effective numerical techniques. The book is designed for a broad readership of graduate students in mechanical and civil engineering, applied mathematics, and physics, as well as to researchers and professionals interested in a rigorous and comprehensive study of modeling non-linear phenomena governed by PDEs.
