Compressible Porous Media: Toward a General Theory
The porous media theory with incompressible constituents had already come to well founded conclusions in the early stage of its development (see Fillunger, 1936). This concerns, in particular, the discovery of...

Optimization of Vibrating Thin-Walled Structures
Thin-walled structures play an important role in structural engineering. These structures — due to the thinness of the walls — are very sensitive to external excitation which can be caused either by harmonical...

Fundamental Equations and Extremum Principles in the Theory of Thin Shells
The present paper contributes to the non-linear theory of thin elastic shells in the frame of small strains but finite displacements and rotations (see [2], [3]). In describing the kinematic of deformations as...
