Computational Tensor Analysis of Shell Structures

Siemens announces the new release of Simcenter Nastran software. Manufacturers and engineering suppliers in aerospace, automotive, electronics, heavy machinery, medical devices and other indus-tries rely on Simcenter Nastran software for their critical engineering computing needs so they can produce safe, reliable and opti-mized designs within ever shorter design cycles.

This book presents a hybrid approach to the mechanics of thin bodies. Classical theories of rods, plates and shells with constrained shear are based on asymptotic splitting of the equations and boundary conditions of three-dimensional elasticity.
