Shell Structures: Theory and Application by Professor Mitchell Gohnert book launch
You are invited to attend the launch of Shell Structures: Theory and Application by Professor Mitchell Gohnert on 31 July 2023. Gohnert is registered as a Professional Engineer in South Africa and as a Chartered Engineer in the United Kingdom. He is a full professor in Structural Engineering and former Head of School at the School of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Wits University. Shell structures are incorporated into some of the most iconic structures around the world, such as cathedrals, mosques, government buildings and sports arenas. Biological forms are never square or angular, but are curved, and composed of shells and tubes. This book provides a complete picture of shell theory and is written in an accessible style ideal for students in civil and mechanical engineering, as well as practicing structural engineers looking for a reference on shells. It takes place at 13:00 in Room H6, Ground Floor, Hillman Building, School of Civil and Environmental Engineering.
