      abstract = {This book deals with the analysis of plates and shells and  is divided into four sections. After briefly introducing  the basics of elasticity theory and the energy methods of  elastostatics in the first section, the second section is  devoted to the statics of disk structures. In addition to  isotropic disks in Cartesian and polar coordinates,  approximation methods and anisotropic disks are also  discussed. The following third section deals with plate  structures, covering plates in Cartesian and polar  coordinates, and also discussing approximation methods and  higher-order plate theories. Other chapters in this section  discuss plate buckling as well as geometric nonlinear  analysis and laminated plates. The fourth and final section  of this book is devoted to shells, i.e., curved thin  structures, following the common division into membrane  theory on the one hand and bending theory on the other  hand. This book is intended for students at universities,  but also for engineers in practice and researchers in  engineering science. About the author: Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing.  habil. Christian Mittelstedt, studied civil engineering at  the University of Wuppertal, where he graduated as  Dipl.-Ing. in 1999. He received his doctoral degree from  the University of Siegen in 2005 with a dissertation on  stress concentration problems in composite laminates. From  2006 he worked in the German aerospace industry as research  engineer and from 2011 as a technical leader and expert in  the field of structural analysis. He defended his  habilitation thesis on the stability of thin-walled  composite panels in lightweight construction in 2012 and is  author and co-author of more than 200 scientific papers  published in international journals, conference  proceedings, but also officially recognized structural  analysis manuals. Since August 2016, he has been head of  the institute of "Lightweight Construction and Design" at  the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Darmstadt  University of Technology.},
