Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

This timely new text offers students complete support and instruction in the use of structural analysis computer programs for both the analysis and modeling of structures. Fundamental concepts and basic theory underlying structural analysis programs are discussed in-depth, while superfluous theoretical detail is avoided--keeping the text exceptionally clear and manageable. Covering matrix structural analysis including finite elements, this text places special emphasis on the modeling of structures and their behavior in addition to their analysis. This practical orientation is bolstered by current discussions of computerized structural analysis techniques and several invaluable computer programs included with the text. Preparing students to use the computer to analyze and to model real structures--including advanced finite elements--and to then evaluate these models and locate errors, Computer Assisted Structural Analysis and Modeling is simply without equal for current, hands-on coverage.
