Title: Nonlinear analysis of structures
First published: 1998
Description: Nonlinear Analysis of Structures presents a complete evaluation of the nonlinear static and dynamic behavior of beams, rods, plates, trusses, frames, mechanisms, stiffened structures, sandwich plates, and shells. These elements are important components in a wide variety of structures and vehicles such as spacecraft and missiles, underwater vessels and structures, and modern housing.

Today's engineers and designers must understand these elements and their behavior when they are subjected to various types of loads. Includes both mathematical treatment and real-world applications and contains a useful and informative chapter on nonlinear analysis of composite structures, and another on recent developments in symbolic computation.
Subjects: Structural analysis (Engineering), Nonlinear theories
