Overview
- Develops a concise and self contained introduction to nonlinear deformable-body dynamics different from Cosserat theory
- Accessible to interdisciplinary audience due to the user friendly presentation and instructive examples
- Reduces to established theories from Kirchhoff and Cosserat theories

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book is a mathematical treatise of approximate theories for thin deformable bodies, including cables, beams, rods, webs, membranes, plates and shells. … At the end of each chapter, a large number of references are given for further studies. The book presents a theoretic frame to develop accurate theories of beams and rods and approximate theories of plates and shells. … serve as a reference work for researchers and as a textbook for senior and postgraduate students in physics, mathematics, engineering and biophysics.” (Girish Ramaiah, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1206, 2011)Authors and Affiliations
