Beschreibung

Written for graduate students, professors, and researchers in the areas of elasticity and shell theories, this text contains a comprehensive account of tensor calculus (in both holonomic and anholonomic coordinate systems).

Autor

Wolf Altman obtained his Ph.D. from Stanford University in 1966. His dissertation was published in the Journal of IABSE and became a classic. Professor Altman is an engineering educator and researcher with experience as a consultant in structural mechanics in general and in the City Hall of Sao Caetano do Sul. His research endeavors, which include over 60 articles in international journals, have been mainly on weak variational formulations, including the effects of conservative and nonconservative loads on beams, plates and shells, and on physical and nonholonomic components of tensors with application to the theory of elasticity and shells. Antonio Marmo De Oliveira earned his doctorate at the Instituto Tecnologico de Aeronautica in 1977. He was full professor at Instituto Tecnologico de Aeronautica and University of Taubate until his retirement. He performed research in the broad fields of mechanics, applied mathematics, and engineering science, and he has published nine books and over 50 articles in journals and magazines and 300 chronicles in Taubate's newspapers. He was awarded the 1966 Esso Prize of Sciences and some commendations in Taubate city, where he was the head of the university during 2000-2002. He currently works as a consultant for reinforced industrial plastics.
