Mechanics of Elastic Structures with Inclined Members: Analysis of Vibration, Buckling and Bending of X-Braced Frames and Conical Shells / Edition 1

by Chin Hao Chang

Overview

This monograph presents the mechanics of vibration, buckling and bending of elastic structures with inclined members such as x-braced high rise frames and conical shells. More than giving detailed derivations of basic equations, Mechanics of Elastic Structures with Inclined Members is mainly oriented towards practical problem-solving. The book can be used as a textbook for graduate students concentrating on structural mechanics, or as a reference book for engineers and researchers in the fields of engineering mechanics, civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and aerospace engineering.

Editorial Reviews

From the reviews of the first edition:

"The monograph has fourteen chapters and a list of references. … This book should be of interest to scientists, post-graduate students and engineering studying vibrations, buckling and bending of elastic structures." (Irina Alexandrovna Bolgrabskaya, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1087, 2006)
