Beskrivning

In our world of seemingly unlimited computing, numerous analytical approaches to the estimation of stress, strain, and displacement-including analytical, numerical, physical, and analog techniques-have greatly advanced the practice of engineering. Combining theory and experimentation, computer simulation has emerged as a third path for engineering

Recensioner i media

"This book presents the major advances in structural engineering concepts and design that have taken place over the last seven decades to reach the present state that is familiar to structural engineers. It also draws the attention of structural engineers to the drastic idealisation and simplifications for the equations of equilibrium, material behaviour and kinematics as well as structural systems. ...All chapters are well written, complemented with a good number of examples and applications and well-presented figures. In addition, each of the main five theory chapters is concluded with a historical sketch, acknowledging the contribution of various scholars to the theory development and advancement presented in that chapter. Overall, the book provides a big-picture guide to the key advances in structural engineering design..." -ICE Structures and Buildings
