Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe:

THIS BOOK PROVIDES AN IN-DEPTH TREATMENT OF THE STUDY OF THE STABILITY OF ENGINEERING STRUCTURES. CONTRIBUTIONS FROM INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED LEADERS IN THE FIELD ENSURE A WIDE COVERAGE OF ENGINEERING DISCIPLINES IN WHICH STRUCTURAL STABILITY IS OF IMPORTANCE, IN PARTICULAR THE ANALYTICAL AND NUMERICAL MODELLING OF STRUCTURAL STABILITY APPLIED TO AERONAUTICAL, CIVIL, MARINE AND OFFSHORE STRUCTURES. THE RESULTS FROM A NUMBER OF COMPREHENSIVE EXPERIMENTAL TEST PROGRAMS ARE ALSO PRESENTED, THUS ENHANCING OUR UNDERSTANDING OF STABILITY PHENOMENA AS WELL AS VALIDATING THE ANALYTICAL AND COMPUTATIONAL SOLUTION SCHEMES PRESENTED. A VARIETY OF STRUCTURAL MATERIALS ARE INVESTIGATED WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON CARBON-FIBRE COMPOSITES, WHICH ARE BEING INCREASINGLY UTILIZED IN WEIGHT-CRITICAL STRUCTURES. INSTABILITIES AT THE MESO- AND MICRO-SCALES ARE ALSO DISCUSSED. THIS BOOK WILL BE PARTICULARLY RELEVANT TO PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS, GRADUATE STUDENTS AND RESEARCHERS INTERESTED IN STRUCTURAL STABILITY.SAMPLE CHAPTER(S)CHAPTER 1: EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF STIFFENED COMPOSITE PANELS UNDER AXIAL COMPRESSION, TORSION AND COMBINED LOADING (4,88 KB)

Reseña del editor:

This book provides an in-depth treatment of the study of the stability of engineering structures. Contributions from internationally recognized leaders in the field ensure a wide coverage of engineering disciplines in which structural stability is of importance, in particular the analytical and numerical modelling of structural stability applied to aeronautical, civil, marine and offshore structures. The results from a number of comprehensive experimental test programs are also presented, thus enhancing our understanding of stability phenomena as well as validating the analytical and computational solution schemes presented. A variety of structural materials are investigated with special emphasis on carbon-fibre composites, which are being increasingly utilized in weight-critical structures. Instabilities at the meso- and micro-scales are also discussed. This book will be particularly relevant to professional engineers, graduate students and researchers interested in structural stability.
