These two-partition books present essential approaches to numerical-analytical solutions of
problems in the mechanics of shells with various structures and shapes based on refined and
spatial models. Further it examines the mechanical behavior of shallow circular and
noncircular conical spherical and functionally graded shells obtained by the refined model.
The book investigates the stress-strain state and free vibrations of finite-length cylinders in
spatial formulation (3D elasticity theory). Further it analyzes the influence of geometrical
and mechanical parameters of boundary conditions and of the loading character on both the
distributions of stress and displacement fields and on the dynamical characteristics in these
shells and cylinders. Lastly it discusses in detail the validation of reliability for the
results obtained by numerical calculations. As such it complements the first part of the book
the volume Recent Developments in Anisotropic Heterogeneous Shell Theory: Applications of
Refined and Three-dimensional Theory.
