Key features: Includes analytical solving of mixed boundary value problems; Introduces modern asymptotic and summation procedures; Presents asymptotic approaches for nonlinear dynamics of rods, beams and plates; Covers statics, dynamics and stability of plates with mixed boundary conditions; Explains links between the Adomian and homotopy perturbation approaches. This is a comprehensive reference for researchers and practitioners working in the field of Mechanics of Solids and Mechanical Engineering, and is also a valuable resource for graduate and postgraduate students from Civil and Mechanical Engineering. -- UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/9781118725184 ER -
