VL - 42 IS - 3 SE - Scientific articles dedicated to Professor J.N.

No <em>a priori</em> hypotheses are made concerning the kinematics of deformation. The asymptotic procedure culminates in a generalization of Koiter's well-known shell theory to accommodate the laminated structure, and incorporates a rigorous limit model for pure bending.</p> ER -
