A primary method of analysis in mechanical and structural engineering is to divide a structure or object into very small sections (the smaller, the more accurate) and then to observe changes in position and temperature based on the applications of physical or thermal forces. The intelligent use of computers has made one of the primary methods, Finite Element Analyis (FEA), even more powerful and useful. The aim of this book is to provide a modern continuum mechanics and mathematical framework to study shell physical behaviors, and to formulate and evaluate FEA procedures. These shell structures are found abundantly in engineering designs, and are being analysed with finite elements in a seemingly routine manner. This monograph explains that fundamental physical aspects of shell behaviors must be understood in order to perform a reliable and effective shell analysis. In particular, it shows how citial it is that the diversity and the peculiarity of shell behavior when the thickness of the structure is decreased be considered.
