Bibliography of Monographs and Surveys on Shells

Modern shell technology may be traced back to the fundamental work on Kirchhoff and Love in the second half of the nineteenth century, and the building of the first Zeiss-Dywidag barrel-vault shell roofs in the 1920s. Since then, considerable work has been done on the theory, analysis, modeling and construction of shells. The expanded use of shell structures resulted from the increased knowledge about their behavior and their efficient load-carrying capabilities, as well as from the availability of new materials for their construction (eg, reinforced and prestressed concrete; light alloys; and fibrous composites). Since 1928 over 411 books and monographs and over 98 conference proceedings have been published on the subject. For the benefit of the readers of Applied Mechanics Reviews, all the monographs, textbooks and conference proceedings are arranged in chronological order. Also, a partial list of survey papers is given at the end. The papers are listed in chronological order.
