The second edition of this work contains new chapters on areas including: the rotating ring and its practical applications, which gives an example of a rotating circular cylindrical shell; the basic theory of thermoelasticity including thermally excited vibrations of shells and plates; similitude arguments for shells or plates that are supported by an elastic medium; and specialized similitudes for various structural elements, deriving exact and approximate scaling relationships.
