1. On one Class of Spatial Problems of Layered Plates and Applications in Seismology -- 2. Asymmetric Buckling of Heterogeneous Annular Plates -- 3. Bending Stiffness of Multilayer Plates with Alternating Soft and Hard Layers -- 4. On the Bending of Multilayered Plates Considering Surface Viscoelasticity -- 5. Buckling of a Ring-stiffened Cylindrical Shell Under the External Pressure.

This book presents the various approaches in establishment the basic equations of one- and two-dimensional structural elements. In addition, the boundaries of validity of the theories and the estimation of errors in approximate theories are given. Many contributions contain not only new theories, but also new applications, which makes the book interesting for researcher and graduate students. .
