The seminar will cover nonlinear vibrations and shell theories to model traditional and advanced materials, and soft tissues.While thin shells can be modeled with classical shell theories, structures in laminated and sandwich composite materials usually requires shell theories with shear deformation and rotary inertia.Biological soft tissues are usually subjected to significant static and dynamic loadings, potentially yielding large deflections and deformations that requires the introduction of hyperelastic models.For soft tissues the thickness deformation may also be very significant, and this requires the introduction of advanced shell theories that retain thickness deformation.
