Emphasizing problem-solving, this textbook offers a conceptual understanding of theories and formulae in engineering. It covers fundamental principles while introducing practical tutorials and problems. The content includes topics such as basic plates, shells, plastic deformation, dynamics, and structures like portal frames and arches, promoting both numerical and conceptual learning approaches.

Summarizing major concepts and key points, this book tests students' knowledge of the principal theories in structural and stress analysis. It intends to help students to understand the subject by asking and answering conceptual questions. It is suitable for those who are taking an advanced structural and stress analysis course.

Apart from the introductions to composite materials, three-dimensional elasticity and the concept of state space equations presented in the first three chapters, the book reviews available analytical and numerical three-dimensional state space solutions for bending, vibration and buckling of laminated composite plates and shells of various shapes.
