This book provides the reader with a consistent approach to theory
of structures on the basis of applied mechanics. It covers framed
structures as well as plates and shells using elastic and plastic
theory, and emphasizes the historical background and the
relationship to practical engineering activities. This is the first
comprehensive treatment of the school of structures that has
evolved at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich over
the last 50 years. The many worked examples and exercises make this
a textbook ideal for in-depth studies. Each chapter concludes with
a summary that highlights the most important aspects in concise
form. Specialist terms are defined in the appendix. There is an
extensive index befitting such a work of reference. The structure
of the content and highlighting in the text make the book easy to
use. The notation, properties of materials and geometrical
properties of sections plus brief outlines of matrix algebra,
tensor calculus and calculus of variations can be found in the
appendices. This publication should be regarded as a key work of
reference for students, teaching staff and practising engineers.
Its purpose is to show readers how to model and handle structures
appropriately, to support them in designing and checking the
structures within their sphere of responsibility.
