The mathematical description of the properties of a shell is much more elaborate than those of beam and plate structures. Therefore many engineers and architects are unacquainted with aspects of shell behaviour and design, and are not familiar with sufficiently reliable shell theories for the different shell types as derived in the middle of the 20th century. Rather than contributing to theory development, this university textbook focuses on architectural and civil engineering schools. Of course, practising professionals will profit from it as well. The book deals with thin elastic shells, in...

This book covers thin elastic shells, especially cylindrical, conical and spherical types, focusing on roofs, chimneys, pressure vessels and storage tanks. Shows how to calculate the main force flow in shell structures, and estimate stresses and deformations.
