Description
This book provides, in an original form, the main topics now used for the calculus of structures. Its main feature consists in establishing a link between the traditional approach on the strength of materials and the present finite element method. The main aspects of practical modelling are detailed, and numerous cases are exposed. Abstract formalism has been deliberately avoided. The book will be of interest to researchers and practitioners.
