Posted on: Tuesday, 3 April 2007, 12:00 CDT

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c53327) has announced the addition of Analysis and Design of Plated Structures: Volume 2: Dynamics to their offering.

Edited by N E Shanmugam, Universiti Kebangsaan, Malaysia and C M Wang, National University of Singapore, Singapore

the second of two volumes on plated structures

provides a concise review of the most recent research in the research of plated structures

discusses modelling of plates for specific effects

compiled by an international team of distinguished contributors

Plated structures are widely used in many engineering constructions ranging from aircraft to ships and from off-shore structures to bridges and buildings. Given their diverse use in severe dynamic loading environments, it is vital that their dynamic behaviour is analysed and understood. Analysis and design of plated structures Volume 2: Dynamics provides a concise review of the most recent research in the area and how it can be applied in the field.

The book discusses the modelling of plates for effects such as transverse shear deformation and rotary inertia, assembly of plates in forming thin-walled members, and changing material properties in composite, laminated and functionally graded plates. Various recent techniques for linear and nonlinear vibration analysis are also presented and discussed. The book concludes with a hybrid strategy suitable for parameter identification of plated structures and hydro elastic analysis of floating plated structures.

With its distinguished editors and team of international contributors, Analysis and design of plated structures Volume 2: Dynamics will be an invaluable reference source for engineers, researchers and academics involved in the analysis and design of plated structures. It also provides a companion volume to Analysis and design of plated structures Volume 1: Stability.
