Vibrations of Shells and Rods

By Khanh Chau Le

Subjects: Elastic plates and shells, Shells (Engineering), Elastic rods and wires, Vibration, Bars (Engineering)

Description: This book is intended for engineers who deal with vibrations of shells and rods in their everyday practice but also wish to understand the subject from the mathematical point-of-view. Particularly the results concerning high-frequency vibrations may be new to them. The book can also serve as a textbook for advanced students. It may also be interesting for mathematicians who seek applications of the variational and asymptotic methods in elasticity and piezoelectricity. Only a minimum knowledge in advanced calculus and contiuum mechanics is assumed on the part of the reader.
