7."Elasto-plastic and Damage Analysis of Plates and Shells" by George Z Voyiadjis
“Elasto-plastic and Damage Analysis of Plates and Shells” Book Review: The book presents a computational model for analyzing thin and thick shells, incorporating finite element, elasto-plastic, and damage analysis. It commences with an extensive theory on thick spherical shells and progresses to introduce shell constitutive equations. The book further elucidates topics such as geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis, elasto-plastic geometrically nonlinear finite element analysis, nonlinear post-buckling finite element analysis, delamination, and transverse shear stresses. In addition, a chapter dedicated to various numerical methods and computer algorithms used for plate and shell analysis is included. The content of the book is supported with diagrams and illustrations.
