This volume features the proceedings from the Summer Seminar of the Canadian Mathematical Society held at Université Laval. The purpose of the seminar was to gather both mathematicians and engineers interested in the theory or application of plates and shells, or more generally, in the modelisation of thin structures. From this, it was hoped that a better understanding of the problem would emerge for both groups of professionals. New aspects from the mathematical point of view and new applications posing new challenges are reported. This volume offers a snapshot of the state of the art of this rapidly evolving topic.

Titles in this series are co-published with the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques.
