The book provides a critical assessment of the current knowledge
and indicates new challenges which are brought about by the present
times in fighting man-made and natural hazards in transient
analysis of structures. The latter concerns both permanently fixed
structures, such as those built to protect people and/or sensitive
storage material (e.g. military installations) or special
structures in transportation systems (e.g. bridges, tunnels), and
moving structures (such as trains, planes, ships or cars). The
present threat of terrorist attacks or accidental explosions, the
climate change which brings strong stormy winds or even the
destructive earthquake motion that occurs in previously inactive
regions or brings about tsunamis, are a few examples of the kind of
applications addressed in this work.
Problems of such diversity cannot be placed within a single
traditional scientific discipline, but call for the expertise in
probability theory for quantifying the cause, interaction problems
for better understanding the physical nature of the problems, as
well as modeling and computational techniques for improving the
representation of inelastic behavior mechanisms and providing the
optimal design.
