Bøger i Mechanics of Structural Systems serien

The basic partial differential equations for the stresses and displacements in clas sical three dimensional elasticity theory can be set up in three ways: (1) to solve for the displacements first and then the stresses;

Composite structures and products have developed tremendously since the publication of the first edition of this work in 1986.

The aim of this book is to provide a unified presentation of modern mechanics of structures in a form which is suitable for graduate students as well as for engineers and scientists working in the field of applied mechanics.

Transport engineering structures are subjected to loads that vary in both time and space. In general mechanics parlance such loads are called moving loads. The author has studied vibrations of elastic and inelastic bodies and structures under the action of moving loads for many years.
