Recent Advances in Thin-Walled Structures

Recent Advances in Thin-Walled Structures, 1st Edition, provides a reference volume focused on current research in thin-walled structure design and optimization. Formulated for academic and industrial researchers alongside practicing civil and structural engineers, the 296-page reference examines current engineering challenges.

Published by Woodhead Publishing in 2026, the text honors the career of Professor Dinar Camotim, a global researcher in thin-walled metal structures, upon his retirement. Nine leading international experts outline findings regarding real-world applications, sustainability principles, environmental issues, and structural solutions. Their chapters assemble materials performance data, practical case studies, risk assessment strategies, and design standards.

Full Professor Rodrigo Gonçalves, coordinator of the NOVA hub at the CERIS research center, and Full Professor Nuno Silvestre of Instituto Superior Técnico at the University of Lisbon compile these contributions. The reference delivers focused technical analysis to support ongoing work in academic inquiry and industrial structural design.
