About this Item

Neuware - 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 nonlinear analysis, from fracture mechanics to long-span and high-rise civil structures. Topics include: plane frames, statically indeterminate beam systems: Method of displacements, shells and membranes, finite element method, dynamics of discrete systems, dynamics of continuous systems, instability of elastic equilibrium, theory of plasticity, plane stress and plane strain conditions, mechanics of fracture, long-span structures, and high-rise buildings.
