Review Quotes:
From the reviews:
"The book under review is devoted to a mathematically rigorous study of singularities in linear elastic shell theory which appear for very small thickness. ... This well-written book is a reader-friendly and good organized research work in the field of mathematical theory of shells. It can be recommended to highly-qualified experts in this field."
