Preface
Shell-like structures are used in Civil and Aero-space engineering as basic structural elements. As a model of analysis are also used such structures in other branches, e.g. Mechanical engineering, but also in new branches like Medicine and Biology. New applications are primarily related to new materials—instead of steel or concrete, now one has to analyze laminates, foams, functionally graded materials, nanofilms, biological membranes, soft tissues, etc. The new trends in applications demand the improvements of the theoretical foundations of shell theory, since new effects must be taken into account. For example, in the case of small-size shell-like structures (thin films, multiwalled nanotubes) the surface effect plays an important role in the mechanical analysis of these structural elements. Scientific meetings like conferences or colloquia are regularly organized by civil engineers, mathematicians, etc. Within the EUROMECH Colloquium 527 Shell-like structures – Non-classical Theories and Applicatio
