Shells I: Mechanics of Slender Structure

Description

This lecture covers thin pressure vessels, differential geometry of surfaces, covariant and contravariant base vectors, first and second fundamental forms, 3D metric tensor, plate buckling, linear and nonlinear theories, and the eigenvalue problem. It also introduces the concepts of shells dimension reduction, equil. equations, nonlinear theory, critical buckling pressure, and shell buckling.
