Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
A two-step form-finding strategy for determining the heights of a shell of a given plan-form is presented. The shell heights are determined in such a way that the structure can equilibrate applied loads by pure membrane actions. To this end, a set of algebraic equations are obtained by applying the finite difference method to the differential equations derived from the membrane theory of shells. The two-step procedure amounts to compute a distribution of projected membrane stresses that fulfil assigned boundary conditions and to compute shell heights as a function of the membrane stresses computed at the previous step. In case the loads are known in advance, the shell heights are computed in closed form, while the procedure is iterative if loads are expressed as a function of the shell heights. Two numerical examples show the feasibility of the proposed approach.
