Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This book is essential reading for 21st century practitioners and students who need to do structural analysis. It contains a great deal of information that is not available in any other book on the subject. This is because the conventional view of structural analysis is rooted in the early part of the 20th century in the pre-computer era rather than present time.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 180-181) and index.
Bibliography: (pages 176-179).
Introduction -- Basic principles -- The modelling process -- Modelling with finite elements -- Skeletal frames - modelling with line elements -- Plates in bending and slabs -- Material models -- Support models -- Loading -- Non-linear geometry -- Dynamic behaviour -- Case studies.
In the past, the main difficulties in structural analysis lay in the solution process, now model development is a fundamental issue. This work sets out the basic principles for structural analysis modelling and discusses basic processes for using modern software.
