Shear deformable beams and plates : relationships with classical solutions / C.M. Wang, J.N. Reddy, K.H. Lee.

Most books on the theory and analysis of beams and plates deal with the classical (Euler-Bernoulli/Kirchoff) theories but few include shear deformation theories in detail. The classical beam/plate theory is not adequate in providing accurate bending, buckling, and vibration results when the thicknes...
