The study ofthree-dimensional continua has been a traditional part
of graduate education in solid mechanics for some time. With
rational simplifications to the three-dimensional theory of
elasticity, the engineering theories of medium-thin plates and of
thin shells may be derived and applied to a large class of engi
neering structures distinguished by a characteristically small
dimension in one direction. Often, these theories are developed
somewhat independently due to their distinctive geometrical and
load-resistance characteristics. On the other hand, the two systems
share a common basis and might be unified under the classification
of Surface Structures after the German term Fliichentragwerke. This
common basis is fully exploited in this book. A substantial portion
of many traditional approaches to this subject has been devoted to
constructing classical and approximate solutions to the governing
equations of the system in order to proceed with applications.
Within the context of analytical, as opposed to numerical,
approaches, the limited general ity of many such solutions has been
a formidable obstacle to applications involving complex geometry,
material properties, and/or loading. It is now relatively routine
to obtain computer-based solutions to quite complicated situations.
However, the choice of the proper problem to solve through the
selection of the mathematical model remains a human rather than a
machine task and requires a basis in the theory of the subject."
