Introduces scalar gravity, covering covariant derivatives, Ricci tensor, Einstein Equivalence Principle, and the generalization of Newtonian gravity equations.
Covers the expression of the Kirchhoff-Saint Venant energy in a covariant setting and explores equilibrium equations for spherical shells and linear shell theory.
Explores the nonlinear theory of spherical shells and Zoelly's solution for pressure buckling, covering topics like strain measures and critical buckling pressure.
