Shell structures: theory and applications: volume 2 ; proceedings of the 9th SSTA Conference, Gdańsk - Jurata, Poland, 14 - 16 October 2009

Shell Structures. Theory and Applications, Volume 2 contains 77 contributions from over 17 countries, reflecting a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering problems of shell structures. The papers are divided into six broad groups: 1. General lectures; 2. Theoretical modeling; 3. Stability; 4. Dynamics; 5. Numerical analysis; 6. Engineering design, and will be of interest to academics, researchers, designers and engineers dealing with theoretical modelling, computerized analyses and engineering design of thin-walled structures and shell structural elements.
