Spectral Analysis of Nonlinear Elastic Shapes

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the elastic stability of thin-walled structures, this book tackles the complexities of nonlinear behavior in structural engineering. It introduces a novel spectral analysis approach to link shape and stiffness changes, enhancing understanding of nonlinear deformations. Professor Doyle provides tailored computer procedures that augment finite element methods, applicable to various structural issues. Detailed explorations of fundamental problems, including buckling of columns and cylindrical shells, make it an essential resource for structural engineers and computational mechanics researchers.
