Asymptotic Methods for Elastic Structur

Publisher Marketing: Applied mathematicians and numerical analysts present 21 papers on the asymptotic analysis of lower order dimensional models used in elastic structures that are characterized geometrically by a small parameter, such as the thickness in plates and shells or the cross sectional area in rods. They provide an overview of current developments in the fie Contributor Bio:  Ciarlet, Philippe G Philippe G.
