Hello,
Recently I faced few questions in a course that I am attending:
1) Outline the salient features of different higher order shell theories.
2)Explain why some shell theories are not suitable as the basis of element formulation.
3) Discuss any limitations of elements being used in relation to their underlying formulation ( e.g use of shallow shell theory or cylindrical shell theory).

Postdoctoral Fellow in Computational Mechanics
A postdoctoral fellowship is available in the Duke Computational Mechanics Laboratory, beginning in September of 2009 (with flexibility on timing). Funding for the fellowship concerns research in the simulation of large-scale fragmentation phenomena. The ideal candidate will have experience in some combination of the following areas:
