Plates are encountered in several forms-starting from the simple uniform, thin, homogeneous metallic structure to more efficient and durable alternatives involving features such as variable-thickness, lamination, sandwich construction, fiber reinforcement, functional graduation, and moderately- thick to very-thick geometry. Correspondingly, several theoretical models are employed for their analysis and design starting from the classical thin plate theory to alternatives obtained by incorporation of appropriate complicating effects or by using fundamentally different assumptions. This book is an attempt to capture the essentials of this development and to present it such that the reader can obtain a quick understanding and overview of the subject area of plate structures.ISBN:9382127024
