When I started teaching in the early 1950s, I became interested in the vibrations of plates and shells. Soon after I joined the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn as a professor, I began working busily on my research in vibrations of sandwich and layered plates and shells, and then teaching a graduate course on the same subject. Although I tried to put together my lecture notes into a book, I never finished it. Many years later, I came to the New Jersey Institute of Technology as the dean of engineering. When I went back to teaching and looked for some research areas to work on, I came upon laminated composites and piezoelectric layers, which appeared to be natural extensions of sandwiches. Working on these for the last several years has brought me a great deal of joy, since I still am able to find my work relevant. At least I can claim that I still am pursuing life-long learning as it is advocated by educators all over the country. This book is based on the research results I accumulated during these two periods of my work, the first on vibrations and dynamical model­ ing of sandwiches, and the second on laminated composites and piezoelec­ tric layers.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2011-09-28\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e ISBN-10: 9781461275091\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461275091\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4612-2338-2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 228\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44340580647052,"sku":"9781461275091","price":99.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461275091_ca2e6836-d6af-4762-88eb-f4032fe1083a.jpg?v=1755045115","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461275091","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
