Marco Amabili ... This unique book explores both theoretical and experimental aspects of
nonlinear vibrations and stability of shells and plates. It is ideal
for researchers, professionals, students, and instructors. Expert
researchers will find the most recent progresses in nonlinear vibrations
and stability of shells and plates, including advanced problems of
shells with fluid-structure interaction. Professionals will find many
practical concepts, diagrams, and numerical results, useful for the
design of shells and plates made of traditional and advanced materials.
They will be able to understand complex phenomena such as dynamic
instability, bifurcations, and chaos, without needing an extensive
mathematical background. Graduate students will find (i) a complete text
on nonlinear mechanics of shells and plates, collecting almost all the
available theories in a simple form, (ii) an introduction to nonlinear
dynamics, and (iii) the state of art on the nonlinear vibrations and
stability of shells and plates, including fluid-structure interaction
problems.
