Stressed Composite Structures Homogenized Models for Thin-Walled Nonhomogeneous Structures with Initial Stresses / by A.G. Kolpakov.

The basic concepts of traditional mechanics of stressed structures are suitable for classical uniform structures made of homogeneous materials but not for complex structures such as a network plate or structures made of composite materials. In this book a new approach to stressed inhomogeneous struc...
