Description
Building on the author's Structural Mechanics Fundamentals, this text presents a complete and uniform treatment of the more advanced topics in structural mechanics, ranging from beam frames to shell structures, from dynamics to buckling analysis, from plasticity to fracture mechanics, from long-span to high-rise civil structures.
Plane frames
Statically indeterminate beam systems: Method of displacements
Plates and shells
Finite element method
Dynamics of discrete systems
Dynamics of continuous elastic systems
Buckling instability
Long-span structures
High-rise structures
Theory of plasticity
Plane stress and plane strain conditions
Mechanics of fracture
This book serves as a text for graduate students in structural engineering, as well as a reference for practising engineers and researchers.
