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
particular with cylindrical, conical and spherical types, and with
elliptic and hyperbolic paraboloids. The focus is on roofs,
chimneys, pressure vessels and storage tanks. Special attention is
paid to edge bending disturbance zones, which is indispensable
knowledge in FE meshing. A substantial part of the book results
from research efforts in the mid 20th century at Delft University
of Technology. As such, it is a valuable addition to the body of
shell research literature of continuing importance. This work can
be used for university courses. It also shows professionals how to
perform manual calculations of the main force flow in shell
structures, and provides guidance for structural engineers
estimating stresses and deformations.
