Books about Nonlinear Analysis of Shells by Finite Elements

The authors present a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate finite element procedures. With a view towards the synergy that results from physical and mathematical understanding, the book focuses on the fundamentals of shell theories, their mathematical bases and finite

Books about Nonlinear Finite Element Analysis of Thin Shells

The purpose of this report was to adapt earlier work in nonlinear shell-element methodology to the specific kinds of problems encountered in the analysis of critically-loaded reinforced concrete shell structures. The Continuum-Based nonlinear shell-element formulation for this shells was extended to thicker, layer-model types of shell structures. A resultant-type form
