ABSTRACT

With increasingly sophisticated structures involved in modern engineering, knowledge of the complex vibration behavior of plates, shells, curved membranes, rings, and other complex structures is essential for today‘s engineering students, since the behavior is fundamentally different than that of simple structures such as rods and beams.
