Analysis of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures
Author: Robert Levy
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 9401702438
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The availability of computers has, in real terms, moved forward the practice of structural engineering. Where it was once enough to have any analysis given a complex configuration, the profession today is much more demanding. How engineers should be more demanding is the subject of this book. In terms of the theory of structures, the importance of geometric nonlinearities is explained by the theorem which states that "In the presence of prestress, geometric nonlinearities are of the same order of magnitude as linear elastic effects in structures. " This theorem implies that in most cases (in all cases of incremental analysis) geometric nonlinearities should be considered. And it is well known that problems of buckling, cable nets, fabric structures, ... REQUIRE the inclusion of geometric nonlinearities. What is offered in the book which follows is a unified approach (for both discrete and continuous systems) to geometric nonlinearities which incidentally does not require a discussion of large strain. What makes this all work is perturbation theory. Let the equations of equilibrium for a system be written as where P represents the applied loads, F represents the member forces or stresses, and N represents the operator which describes system equilibrium.

Nature-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithms for Engineering Optimization Applications
Author: Serdar Carbas
Publisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9813367733
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 420
Book Description
This book engages in an ongoing topic, such as the implementation of nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms, with a main concentration on optimization problems in different fields of engineering optimization applications. The chapters of the book provide concise overviews of various nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms, defining their profits in obtaining the optimal solutions of tiresome engineering design problems that cannot be efficiently resolved via conventional mathematical-based techniques. Thus, the chapters report on advanced studies on the applications of not only the traditional, but also the contemporary certain nature-inspired metaheuristic algorithms to specific engineering optimization problems with single and multi-objectives. Harmony search, artificial bee colony, teaching learning-based optimization, electrostatic discharge, grasshopper, backtracking search, and interactive search are just some of the methods exhibited and consulted step by step in application contexts. The book is a perfect guide for graduate students, researchers, academicians, and professionals willing to use metaheuristic algorithms in engineering optimization applications.

Structural Analysis Fundamentals
Author: Ramez Gayed
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1000432548
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 647
Book Description
Structural Analysis Fundamentals presents fundamental procedures of structural analysis necessary for teaching undergraduate and graduate courses and structural design practice. It applies linear analysis of structures of all types, including beams, plane and space trusses, plane and space frames, plane and eccentric grids, plates and shells, and assemblage of finite elements. It also treats plastic and time-dependent responses of structures to static loading, as well as dynamic analysis of structures and their responses to earthquakes. Geometric nonlinearity in analysis of cable nets and membranes are examined. This is an ideal text for basic and advanced material for use in undergraduate and higher courses. A companion set of computer programs assist in a thorough understanding and application of analysis procedures. The authors provide a special program for each structural system and procedure. Unlike commercial software, the user can apply any program of the set without a manual or training period. Students, lecturers, and engineers internationally employ the procedures presented in this text and its companion website. Ramez Gayed is a civil engineering consultant and adjunct professor at the University of Calgary. He is an expert in the analysis and design of concrete and steel structures. Amin Ghali is professor emeritus at the University of Calgary, a consultant on major international structures, and the inventor of several reinforcing systems for concrete. He has authored over 300 papers, fifteen books and editions on structural analysis and design, and eight patents.
