Course Objective

Thin-walled structures in the form of plates are encountered in many branches of technology. For example: steel plates of the hulls of ship subjected water pressure, concrete and reinforced concrete slabs subjected transverse loading, thin-walled pressure vessels, and various shaped silos. Nowadays, thin-walled constructions are widely used in airplane costructions. The plate thickness is small compared with other dimensions of the faces. Many assumptions result in the reduction of a three- dimensional problem to a two-dimensional problem. The solution of the thin plates which the definition of stresses and deformation can be simplified and several analysis methods and approaches can be applied for these problems.
