Abstract

We discuss non-linear thermodynamical theories of rods and shells using the three-dimensional theory of classical continuum mechanics as a starting point. The three-dimensional theory is reduced to a two-dimensional theory for a shell, or plate, and a one-dimensional theory for a rod by employing an exact expansion for the displacement but an approximation for the temperature. For elastic rods and shells a method of approximation is suggested which brings the respective theories into correspondence with those of Green and Laws (1) and Green, Naghdi and Wain-wright(2).
