Understanding Structural Engineering: From Theory to Practice

by Wai-Fah Chen, Salah El El-Metwally, Salah El-Din E. El-Metwally, et al.

Book Overview

In our world of seemingly unlimited computing, numerous analytical approaches to the estimation of stress, strain, and displacement-including analytical, numerical, physical, and analog techniques-have greatly advanced the practice of engineering. Combining theory and experimentation, computer simulation has emerged as a third path for engineering design and performance evaluation. As a result, structural engineers working in the practical world...
