Mathematical models of higher orders. Shells in temperature fields (Q1755630)

This monograph is devoted to mathematical models taking into account geometric nonlinearity for both cylindrical shells and panels having rectangular plane forms and being under a sinusoidal load and thermal field. In particular, attention is paid to the transition from regular to chaotic vibrations. The influence of the viscous damping coefficient on the nonlinear vibrations of shell-type systems has also been investigated. The book consists of seven chapters. Chapter 1: Introduction to the problems considered, Chapter 2: Mathematical Modeling of Nonlinear Dynamics of Continuous Mechanical Structures with an account of Internal and External Temperature Fields, Chapter 3: Nonclassical Models and Stability of Multilayer Orthotropic Thermoplastic Shells, Chapter 4: General Problems of Diffraction in the Theory of Design, Chapter 5: Stability of Flexible Shallow Shells subject to Transverse Loads and Heat Flow, Chapter 6: Mathematical Models of Multilayer Flexible Orhotropic Shells under a Temperature Field and Chapter 7: Chaotic Dynamics of Closed Cylindrical Shells under Local Transverse Load and Temperature Field. A large number of references are given at the end of each chapter. The monograph also contains numerical algorithms for solving the governing 3D and 2D (hyperbolic and hyperbolic-parabolic) partial differential equations. The book offers new results in the nonlinear dynamics of the objects studied. The book is easy to read. The reviewer enjoyed reading the book. The book is a welcome reading for academics, researchers and professionals interested in a rigorous and comprehensive study of modeling nonlinear phenomena governed by PDEs. The book will also be useful to graduate and doctoral students in mechanical, civil and aeronautical engineering, and to applied mathematicians and physicists.
