Asymptotic Methods for Elastic Structures: Proceedings of the International Conference, Lisbon, Portugal, October 4-8, 1993 - De Gruyter Proceedings in Mathematics Philippe G Ciarlet Reprint 2011 edition

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.
