Description
Ice Publishing Shell Structures In Civil And Mechanical Engineering Theory And Analysis 2Nd Edition by Alphose Zingoni
Shell Structures in Civil and Mechanical Engineering comprehensively covers the theories governing the membrane and bending behaviour of thin elastic shells. It applies these theories to obtain practical solutions for a wide variety of shell structures encountered in the civil and mechanical engineering disciplines.
Shell Structures in Civil and Mechanical Engineering:
. presents a thorough discussion of the applicability and limitations of the membrane hypothesis in the context of the more general bending theory of shells
. develops the membrane and bending theories of shells, and presents a wealth of closed-form mathematical results for a vast range of shell structures, including junction problems
. includes design considerations and parametric findings for domes, shell roofs, cooling towers, pressure vessels, tanks, new shell forms for liquid containment and novel multi-shell assemblies
. highlights the fundamentals of shell buckling and of finite element modelling of shells.
This new edition is intended for civil and structural engineers involved with the design of domes, architectural shell roofs, industrial barrel roofs, cooling towers, silos, elevated water reservoirs, liquid-containment structures at water treatment works, egg-shaped sludge digesters, oil-storage tanks, chemical storage vessels, and pipelines for water, oil and gas. It will also be of interest to those involved with the design of pressure vessels, boilers, nuclear containment vessels and associated piping.
