There are many monographs in the existing literature devoted to the
static and dynamic behavior of plates and shells. Plates and shells
are enco- tered often in engineering applications being
integralparts of a wide range of constructions, such as machines,
vehicles, airplanes, rockets, ships, bridges, buildings, and
containers, to name a few. In addition to the usual requi- ments
posedby engineersrelatedtolightweightness, su?cientrigidityor?-

topics, such as, nonlinearities a?ecting the system performance,

thereisanongoing e?ort to address such issues, leading to the
development of new analytical and computational tools, some of
which are discussed in this monograph. The monograph follows an
approach based on an integrated treatment of analysis and
computation. Such a hybrid approach, coupled with computer algebra,
can lead to results that cannot be obtained by other standard th-
ries in the ?eld. We show, that in a wide class of problems only a
