"Asymptotic Methods in the Theory of Plates with Mixed Boundary Conditions" comprehensively covers the theoretical background of asymptotic approaches and its applicability to solve mechanical engineering-oriented problems of structural members, primarily plates (statics and dynamics) with mixed boundary conditions.The first part of this book is devoted to the description of asymptotic methods, and also includes coverage of lesser known, but useful approaches including the method of summation and construction of the asymptotically equivalent functions, methods of small and large delta, homotopy perturbations method, etc.The second part of this book deals with the application of the asymptotic methods to solve various problems of the theory of plates with mixed boundary conditions. Both free and forced vibrations of plates, as well their stress-strain states and stability problems are studied. The results are presented in a simple analytical form, and can be directly used in engineering practice.

Asymptotic Methods in the Theory of Plates with Mixed Boundary Conditions comprehensively covers the theoretical background of asymptotic approaches and their use in solving mechanical engineering–oriented problems of structural members, primarily plates (statics and dynamics)
with mixed boundary conditions.

The first part of this book introduces the theory and application of asymptotic methods and includes a series of approaches that have been omitted or not rigorously treated in the existing literature. These lesser known approaches include the method of summation and construction of the asymptotically equivalent functions, methods of small and large delta, and the homotopy perturbations method.

The second part of the book contains original results devoted to the solution of the mixed problems of the theory of plates, including statics, dynamics and stability of the studied objects. In addition, the applicability of the approaches presented to other related linear or nonlinear problems is addressed.

Key features:

Includes analytical solving of mixed boundary value problems

Introduces modern asymptotic and summation procedures

Presents asymptotic approaches for nonlinear dynamics of rods, beams and plates

Covers statics, dynamics and stability of plates with mixed boundary conditions

Explains links between the Adomian and homotopy perturbation approaches

Asymptotic Methods in the Theory of Plates with Mixed Boundary Conditions is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners working in the field of Mechanics of Solids and Mechanical Engineering, and is also a valuable resource for graduate and postgraduate students from Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
