Singular Problems in Shell Theory: Computing and Asymptotics (Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics, 54)

This book deals with various aspects in relation with thin shell theory: gen- eral geometric formalism of shell theory, analysis of singularities, numerical computing of thin shell problems, mathematical considerations on boundary values problems which enable to understand the sensitive problems encountered. Therefore, the lecture of this book may not be continuous and the reader who wants to improve his knowledge in a specific area may refer directly to the chapters concerned with.
