Contents: Matrix Algebra and Formulation, Flexibility Approach,Stiffness Approch, Limit Analysis or Plastic Theory of Structure, Finite Element Method and its Application in Stress Analysis, Structural Dynamics, and Solution Technique and Computer Programs.
This book is designed to give the structural engineer training in microcomputer technology, starting with theory and computer methods in Part 1 and culminating in extensive listings of programs in both Fortran 77 and Basic in Part 2. Because it provides programs and the information to understand and modify them for specific purposes, it can be used as a text for graduate engineering students or…
This book presents the principles and methods that are the basis for plastic design and shows how they may be used in the solution of practical building frame design problems.
