Cusped shell-like structures (Q1948291)

This book is an exploratory survey of results concerning elastic cusped shells, plates and beams and cusped prismatic shell-fluid interaction problems. Two different approaches are presented: 1. Obtaining results for two-dimensional and one-dimensional problems from the results of corresponding three-dimensional problems, and 2. Investigating directly degenerate and singular systems governing the corresponding one- and two-dimensional problems. The book has seven chapters. The level of exposition is rather high, and therefore the book is addressed to applied mathematicians and engineers interested in mathematical aspects of practical problems.
