Front Cover
Elsevier, Feb 16, 2004 - Technology & Engineering - 426 pages
Vibrations drive many engineering designs in today’s engineering environment. There has been an enormous amount of research into this area of research over the last decade. This book documents some of the latest research in the field of vibration of composite shells and plates filling a much-needed gap in the market. Laminated composite shells have many engineering applications including aerospace, mechanical, marine and automotive engineering. This book makes an ideal reference for researchers and practicing engineers alike.
  • The first book of its kind
  • Documents 10 years of research in the field of composite shells
  • Many Engineering applications

Page 3 - Love introduced his first approximation for bending analysis of shells. This approximation defines a linear analysis of thin shells, in which various assumptions were introduced. Among these assumptions, strains and displacements are assumed to be small such that second and higher order terms can be neglected.
Page 3 - Love assumed the thickness of the shell to be small compared with other shell parameters, the transverse stress to be small compared with other stresses in shells, and normals to the undeformed surface to remain straight and normal to the deformed surface.
