PLATES AND SHELL SUBJECT CODE: 2722013 SEMESTER: II
Type of course: Elective
Prerequisite: Mechanics of Solids, Structural Analysis and Engineering Mathematics
Rationale: Plates and Shells have become important structural forms of modern infrastructures. Analysis of such structure requires rigorous mathematical treatment. It is essential to understand structural behaviour and analysis of plates and shells for their safe design. The course on Plates and Shell equips the students with analysis methodology of plates and shell using analytical methods.

Review Presentation (RP): The concerned faculty member shall provide the list of peer reviewed Journals and Tier-I and Tier-II Conferences relating to the subject (or relating to the area of thesis for seminar) to the students in the beginning of the semester. The same list will be uploaded on GTU website during the first two weeks of the start of the semester. Every student or a group of students shall critically study 2 papers, integrate the details and make presentation in the last two weeks of the semester. The GTU marks entry portal will allow entry of marks only after uploading of the best 3 presentations. A unique id number will be generated only after uploading the presentations. Thereafter the entry of marks will be allowed. The best 3 presentations of each college will be uploaded on GTU website
