Apj Abdul Kalam Technological University: (Answer Any Two Questions: 2 X 9 18 Marks)

This document contains exam questions for a postgraduate civil engineering course on the theory of plates and shells. It is divided into three parts testing knowledge across six modules of the course curriculum. Part A contains questions about slightly bent plates under pure bending and derivations of solutions for rectangular plates. Part B focuses on solutions for annular and orthotropic plates. Part C addresses membrane theory of shells, derivation of expressions for forces in cylindrical shells, and determining equilibrium equations for symmetrically loaded shells of revolution.
