Vibrations of Shells and Plates

Continuing to lay an analytical and computational foundation for the study of vibration in complex structures, Vibrations of Shells and Plates, Third Edition was updated to reflect advances made since publication of the second edition. The author demonstrates how the vibration behavior of shells and plates differs from that of beams through theoretical development and examples. He also explains complicating effects on vibration such as the influence of rotation, shear, rotatory inertia, moment loading, residual stresses, and composite layers. New material includes the parabolic cylindrical shell, natural frequencies and modes, power series method, and explicit strain energy equations for many standard cases.
