The book discusses topics on the Lamé problem and derivation of beam theory; the basic postulates, or assumptions of shell theory; membrane shells and the bending of circular cylinders; and axisymmetric vibrations of circular cylinders. Mathematicians and students of mathematics will find the book invaluable.
