Shell structures are widely used in the fields of civil,
mechanical, architectural, aeronautical, and marine engineering.
Shell technology has been enhanced by the development of new
materials and prefabrication schemes. Despite the mechanical
advantages and aesthetic value offered by shell structures, many
engineers and architects are relatively unacquinted with shell
behaviour and design. This book familiarizes the engineering and
architectural student, as well as the practicing engineer and
architect, with the behaviour and design aspects of shell
structures. Three aspects are presented: the Physical behaviour,
the structural analysis, and the design of shells in a simple,
integrated, and yet concise fashion. Thus, the book contains three
major aspects of shell engineering: (1) physical understanding of
shell behaviour; (2) use of applied shell theories; and (3)
development of design methodologies together with shell design
examples. The theoretical tools required for rational analysis of
shells are kept at a modest level to give a sound grasp of the
fundamentals of shell behaviour and, at the same time, an
understanding of the related theory, allowing it to be applied to
actual design problems. To achieve a physical understanding of
complex shell behaviour, quantitative presentations are
supplemented by qualitative discussions so that the reader can
grasp the physical feeling' of shell behaviour. A number of
analysis and detailed design examples are also worked out in
various chapters, making the book a useful reference manual. This
book can be used as a textbook and/or a reference book in
undergraduate as well as graduate university courses in the fields
of civil, mechanical, architectural, aeronautical, and materials
engineering. It can also be used as a reference and design-analysis
manual for the practicing engineers and architects. The text is
supplemented by a number of appendices containing tables of shell
analysis and design charts and tables.
