All structures suffer from stresses and strains caused by factors
such as wind loading and vibrations. Stress analysis and
measurement is an integral part of the design and management of
structures, and is used in a wide range of engineering areas.
There are two main types of stress analyses - the first is
conceptual where the structure does not yet exist and the analyst
has more freedom to define geometry, materials, loads etc -
generally such analysis is undertaken using numerical methods such
as the finite element method. The second is where the structure (or
a prototype) exists, and so some parameters are known. Others
though, such as wind loading or environmental conditions will not
be completely known and yet may profoundly affect the structure.
These problems are generally handled by an ad hoc combination of
experimental and analytical methods.
This book therefore tackles one of the most common challenges
facing engineers - how to solve a stress analysis problem when all
of the required information is not available. Its central concern
is to establish formal methods for including measurements as part
of the complete analysis of such problems by presenting a new
approach to the processing of experimental data and thus to
experimentation itself. In addition, engineers using finite element
methods will be able to extend the range of problems they can solve
(and thereby the range of applications they can address) using the
methods developed here.
"Modern Experimental Stress Analysis" Presents a comprehensive
and modern reformulation of the approach to processing experimental
dataOffers a large collection of problems ranging from static to
dynamic, linear to non-linearCovers stress analysis with the finite
element methodIncludes a wealth of documented experimental
examplesProvides new ideas for researchers in computational
mechanics
