Overview
This book gives a unified presentation of the field of stability. Buckling and post-buckling states are studied on the basis of total potential energy of structural systems. Emphasis is placed throughout the text on post-buckling analysis and behaviour. The sensitivity of buckling and post-buckling states to changes in design parameters is also discussed as well as changes due to imperfections and damage.

Gives a unified presentation of the field of stability. Buckling and post-buckling states are studied on the basis of total potential energy of structural systems; emphasis is on post-buckling analysis and behavior. Sensitivity of buckling and post-buckling states to changes in design parameters is also discussed, as well as changes due to imperfections and damage. The focus is on formulation of engineering problems, rather than on proof of fundamental principles. Chapter problems are included. The author teaches civil engineering at the University of Puerto Rico. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)Book Details
