Mechanics and Analysis of Beams, Columns and Cables. A Modern Introduction to the Classic Theories

von Steen Krenk Kategorie: Allgemein ISBN: 3540417133 Kommentar abgeben

Synopsis This volume illustrates the use of simple mathematical analysis techniques within the area of basic structural mechanics, in particular the elementary theories of beams, columns and cables. The focus is on: identification of the physical background of the theories and their particular mathematical properties; demonstration of mathematical techniques for analysis of simple problems in structural mechanics, and identification of the relevant parameters and properties of the solution; and derivation of the solutions to a number of basic problems of structural mechanics in a form suitable for later reference. The presentation concentrates on the main principles and the characteristics of the solutions. The theory also serves as a basis for the formulation of numerical models and for intelligent interpretation of their results.
