The design of many structures such as pressure vessels, aircrafts,
bridge decks, dome roofs, and missiles is based on the theories of
plates and shells. The degree of simplification needed to adopt the
theories to the design of various structures depends on the type of
structure and the re quired accuracy of the results. Hence, a water
storage tank can be satis factorily designed using the membrane
shell theory, which disregards all bending moments, whereas the
design of a missile casing requires a more precise analysis in
order to minimize weight and materials. Similarly, the design of a
nozzle-to-cylinder junction in a nuclear reactor may require a
sophisticated finite element analysis to prevent fatigue failure
while the same junction in an air accumulator in a gas station is
designed by simple equations that satisfy equilibrium conditions.
Accordingly, this book is written for engineers interested in the
theories of plates and shells and their proper application to
various structures. The examples given throughout the book
subsequent to derivation of various theories are intended to show
the engineer the level of analysis required to achieve a safe
design with a given degree of accuracy. The book covers three
general areas. These are: bending of plates; membrane and bending
theories of shells; and buckling of plates and shells. Bending of
plates is discussed in five chapters. Chapters 1 and 2 cover
rectangular plates with various boundary and loading conditions."
