Features: This book is a work on the discussion of post-buckling behavior of plates and shells. It systematically summarizes the new achievements in the field of post-buckling and thermal post-buckling of plate and shell structures during the 1990s. The book provides a complete theoretical framework to analyze the post-buckling behavior of composite laminated shear plates and laminated cylindrical shells, especially under complex environmental or complex loading conditions, involving the coupling effects of mechanical, thermal, moisture, and electrical environments or loads. The research methods introduced in this book can be extended to the analysis of post-buckling behavior of other novel composite plate and shell structures. This book is a reference for structural designers, scholars in structural stability research, and graduate students in higher education institutions.
