The Theory of Plates and Shells (McGraw-Hill Classic Textbook Reissue Series) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Theory of Plates and Shells is divine revelation for serious engineering geeks who design and analyze structures for cutting edge technology, such as aircraft and space systems. Composite buckling and crippling analysis comes alive when explained in the light of Steve Timoshenko's mathematics. Without this text, analysts are clueless about the mystical behavior of buckling plates. If aircraft design does not excite you, then use it as a non-addictive sleeping pill.

The goal of this book is to provide the architecture student with a conceptual introduction to architectural structures and to emphasize the importance of integrating structure and architectural design.This is done with an introduction to the basic principles (Statics, Dynamics, and Strength of Materials) followed by the various structural systems.The clear, non-mathematical presentation stresses their architectural design implications. It lays the conceptual groundwork for subsequent advanced courses such as Statics, Strength of Materials, and Timber, Steel and Concrete.
