Course Description
Basic concept of plates and shells will be introduced such as small defection theory of elastic thin plates, rectangular plates, circular plates, plates on elastic foundation, in plane forces, bucking of plates, large deflections of plates, membrane theory of shells, bending theory of shells, shallow shells, cylindrical shells, buckling of shells.
Intended Learning Outcomes
CILO-1: Describe and discuss the kinematical hypothesis of displacements and forces, and establish the equilibrium equations and governing equation of thin plates.
CILO-2: Apply analytical and approximate methods in square and circular plates subjected to difference boundary conditions and loading condidtion.
CILO-3: Apply the membrane theory in thin shells.
