Ann E. Jeffers: Linear and Nonlinear Methods of Matrix Structural Analysis, Gebunden

Klappentext

Develop more advanced structural models with this must-have text

Recent technological advances have made computer models an integral part of structural design. In particular, nonlinear matrix structural analysis has permitted the widespread deployment of advanced analytical techniques to model, for instance, structural response to extreme load. No existing text, however, introduces both linear and nonlinear matrix structural analysis for the benefit of structural engineers.

Linear and Nonlinear Methods of Matrix Structural Analysis meets this need with a thorough and practical overview of these techniques and their applications in structural design. Moving from fundamentals to more advanced subjects, this volume permits informed decision-making about the creation and assessment of structural models. It promises to equip structural engineers with a new and cutting-edge set of analytical tools.

Linear and Nonlinear Methods of Matrix Structural Analysis readers will also find:

• Detailed discussion of how to produce code for performing linear and nonlinear matrix structural analysis
• Coverage of how to analyze trusses, beams, and frames under different loads
• Learning objectives, worked-through examples, and end-of-chapter problems to facilitate concept acquisition and retention

Linear and Nonlinear Methods of Matrix Structural Analysis is ideal for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in structural engineering, civil engineering and related subjects.
