This volume contains full texts of 114 papers selected for presentation at the 8th Conference "Shell Structures: Theory and Applications", 12-14 October, 2005, Jurata (Poland). The papers reflect a wide spectrum of scientific and engineering problems of shell structures and are divided into six groups: general lectures, theoretical modelling, stability, dynamics, finite element analyses, and engineering design. Particularly valuable and extensive contributions were presented by Prof. I. Andrianov (Ukraine), Prof. V.A. Eremeyev (Russia), Prof. A. Ibrahimbegovic (France). Prof. P. Klosowski (Poland), Prof. B.H. Kröplin (Germany), Prof. H.A. Mang (Austria), and Prof. J.M. Rotter (UK).

Shell structures form key components in a very wide range of engineering enterprise. The theory of shell structures is an old and large subject, with a huge literature. However, this book is not a compilation of results from the past. Instead, it is an attempt to bring the essence of the subject within the grasp of engineers. It tackles the fundamental question of how bending and stretching effects combine and interact in shell structures from a physical point of view; and it shows that this approach leads to an understanding of the structural mechanics of shells in general, and to useful results in particular problems. The first half of the book is concerned mainly with the basic ideas and equations of equilibrium, geometry and elasticity, and their combination in various useful ways. In particular, it includes a simple treatment of the geometry of general curved surfaces. The second half of the book first investigates the behaviour of various practical shell structures under static loading. Then there are chapters on the buckling of shells, on vibration, and on the application of plastic theory to analysis and design.

This book on flexible formwork for fluid architecture is a multi-faceted research that covers a broad field: from design to material and technology, and from history to future developments. It offers a pragmatic approach that can be extended with more cases, materials, techniques and methods for fluid architecture, and provides a better understanding of the main aspects of fluid architecture and to help them find the most suitable combinations of all aspects.The book is a challenging experience with many new discoveries, including two patents: one on moulding of fluid surfaces and one on 3D printing of fibre-reinforced ice. It also features two world records: the larges span (30 meters) and the highest thin shell structure (30,5 meters) in ice as well as a method for the construction of a fully laminated shell structure in insulated glass.
