Vibrations of Thin Elastic Shells

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: International Centre for Mechanical Sciences ((CISM,volume 240))

Abstract

In this introductory Chapter, we first give some information about the history of shell dynamics, and then make remarks concerning the scope of these lectures. The description of the elastic shell as it shall be considered here is followed by the equations of linear shell dynamics in general, and b, a particular differential operator.
