Description
There are many monographs in the existing literature devoted to the static and dynamic behavior of plates and shells. Plates and shells are enco- tered often in engineering applications being integralparts of a wide range of constructions, such as machines, vehicles, airplanes, rockets, ships, bridges, buildings, and containers, to name a few. In addition to the usual requi- ments posedby engineersrelatedtolightweightness,su?cientrigidityor?- ibility, and robust stability properties, there is an additional class ofapriori dynamicalpropertiesrequiredbymodernengineeringapplicationswheren- homogeneity and non-uniformity of structural components is often the norm incertainapplications. Inaddition,strictoperationalrequirementsinmodern engineering applications towards higher speeds, lighter construction, robust andreliableperformance,dictatessmallermarginsoferrorordeviationsfrom prescribed performances in adverse or uncertain forcing environments. This, in turn, requires the development of new analytical and computational tools capable of addressing challenging and not very well developed topics, such as, nonlinearities a?ecting the system performance, the e?ects of unmodeled dynamics on the stability of operation, and the role of uncertainties in the systemparametersonthestructuralresponse.
Asaresult,thereisanongoing e?ort to address such issues, leading to the development of new analytical and computational tools, some of which are discussed in this monograph. The monograph follows an approach based on an integrated treatment of analysis and computation. Such a hybrid approach, coupled with computer algebra, can lead to results that cannot be obtained by other standard th- ries in the ?eld. We show, that in a wide class of problems only a carefully prepared numerical experiment followed by purely mathematical conside- tionscan?nallyleadtothesoughtresults. Thenumerousanalyticalconstr- tions are illustrated by examples of application and computational results.

From the reviews:
"The authors put together a unique monograph on an interesting array of elastodyamic subjects. . The work is presented in the manner of a series of seminars. Thus it is very appealing to the professional who wishes to focus on the physics and macroscopic mathematics of the subject. An excellent list of references is provided for the interested reader to pursue the mathematical depth of the topic presented. . it is an excellent reference . in the field of elasto-dynamics to have on the shelf." (J. Genin, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1064, 2005)

From the beginning of his academic career Jan Awrejcewicz has been associated with the Mechanical Faculty of the Lodz University of Technology, where he obtained a master's degree in engineering, a PhD in technical sciences and a postdoctoral degree (habilitatioin). In 1994, he received the title of Professor from the President of Poland. In 1998 he founded the Department of Automation, Biomechanics and Mechatronics, that he is still managing. Since 2013 he has been a member of the Polish Central Commission for Degrees and Titles, and since 2019 also of the Council for Scientific Excellence. He is also an Editor-in-Chief of 3 international journals and member of the Editorial Boards of 90 international journals (23 with IF) as well as editor of 25 books and 28 journal special issues. He also reviewed 45 monographs and textbooks and over 600 journal papers for about of 140 journals. His scientific achievements cover issues related to asymptotic methods for continuous and discrete mechanical systems, taking into account thermoelasticity and tribology, and computer implementations using symbolic calculus, nonlinear dynamics of mechanical systems with friction and impacts, as well as engineering biomechanics. He authored/co-authored over 780 journal papers and refereed international conference papers and 50 monographs. For his scientific merits he recived numerous prestigious awards and distinctions, among them titles of the Honoratry Doctor of Cz¿stochowa University of Technology (2013), University of Technology and Humanities in Bielsko-Biäa (2013), Kielce University of Technology (2019), National Technical University "Kharkiv Polytechnic Institute" (2019), and Gdäsk University of Technology (2019).
Vadim Krysko was born in Kiev, Ukraine, on September 21, 1937. He received a master's degree in Civil Engineering from the Saratov State Technical University in 1962. A Ph.D. degree in Mechanics of Solids he obtained from the Saratov State Technical University, USSR in 1967, and D.Sci. degree in Mechanics of Solids he obtained from Moscow Civil Engineering University in 1978. In 1982 he became a full professor, the academic rank of professor obtained from the Department of Higher Mathematics, Saratov State Technical University. He is author/co-author of 329 publications in scientific journals and conference proceedings, 8 monographs in English, 8 monographs in Polish, and 16 monographs in Russian. Topics of his research cover such branches of mechanics as thermoelasticity and thermoplasticity, the theory of optimization of mechanical systems, the theory of propagation of elastic waves upon impact, the theory of coupled problems of thermoelasticity and the interaction of flexible elastic shells with a transonic gas flow, numerical methods for solving nonlinear problems of shells theory. Vadim Krysko was a promoter of 58 PhD (postgraduate student) theses. He is currently the Head of the Department of Mathematicsand Modeling, Saratov State Technical University, Russia. In 2012 he was honored by a title of Doctor Honoris Causa of the Lodz University of Technology, Poland. Vadim Krysko opened and developed novel scientific directions for research in the construction, justification and numerical implementation of new classes of equations of mathematical physics of hyperbolic-parabolic types and proposed effective methods for their numerical solution.
