Choice Review
This book presents analysis and design based on state-of-the-art modeling methods and computational techniques of complex and challenging structures found in several engineering disciplines. Structures include high-rise buildings, lightweight long-span roofs, bridges, various geotechnical structures, aging nuclear structures, offshore structures, automotive structures, composite aircraft structures, and ship structures. The book covers modeling based on the finite element method. Presented are linear and nonlinear analyses of structures under static and several types of dynamic loadings, such as impact, wave, and earthquake. Analysis and modeling based on reliability concept are included. The 12 chapters begin with an overview of structural modeling and conclude with reflections. Each chapter provides relevant references. This book is valuable for practicing structural engineers, university and college faculty, researchers, and graduate students; senior-level undergraduates in civil, mechanical, aerospace, offshore, and nuclear engineering will also find it a good resource. For libraries serving programs in engineering. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through professionals. R. B. Malla University of Connecticut
