Review
"This is a very welcome book, tackling a subject area of great complexity with much verve and panache. . . . . It is clear from the outset that the authors interpret the 'stability of structures' in the broadest possible sense, on which they are to be congratulated . . . . It is well served by 442 illustrations--important in a work so full of nonlinear phenomena. It is a bulky tour de force, packed with worked examples and problems for students . . . and a valuable reference guide for research workers . . . In total, there is no denying the enormity of the contribution." --London Times Higher Education Supplement
"Bazant and Cedolin have created a comprehensive, modern, detailed, rigorous treatment of the principles and applications of structural stability analysis that should quickly become the premier reference book on this subject of great importance to civil, mechanical, and aerospace engineering, and to materials science. . . .Every graduate-level engineering library should acquire this important new book. --Choice
"Cohesively presents a subject which has traditionally been touched upon in many different courses. . . .Unique in that it deals more fully with nonelastic stability than do similar texts." --The New York Public Library
"Especially welcome for its uncommonly broad horizons and its innovative features. . . .Numerous examples, exercises, references to real-life engineering situations and even technical codes, are bound to be appreciated by teachers and students in structural mechanics and by practicing engineers as well. The wealth of well-organized and up-to-date knowledge presented in this thick and elegant volume is also likely to appeal as a reference book of lasting value to the community of researchers in solid, material and structural mechanics." --European Journal of Mechanics
"This volume covers a remarkably wide range of topics in both structural and continuum mechanics. . . .One could hardly imagine that it would be possible for the material to be expounded in a clearer, more concise, and yet at the same time more rigorous manner. . . .Likely to be regarded for many years as the authoritative and definitive text in a theoretical field of absolute central importance to structural engineers." --The Structural Engineer
"A monumental work . . . . This resourceful and extraordinarily informative book is a landmark in the field of structural stability. The authors, quite remarkably, treat the subject of stability in an exceedingly broad sense and present a gamut of theories seldom seen in book form. The book is a valuable treatise which provides the readers with an encyclopedic account of classical and modern theories of structural stability and of material stability. The book is an indispensable reference for all those involved in research and practice in the field of stability." --Journal of Structural Engineering
". . . the directness of [the authors'] approach makes much of the book accessible to anyone with the requisite background knowledge. All will profit from the way in which unusual examples are used to illuminate unfamiliar aspects of the subject-matter. These thousand pages represent an invaluable distillation of knowledge on all aspects of this notoriously difficult subject and the book will surely be treasured as a work of reference for years to come." --Engineering Structures and Materials and Design
"Bazant and Cedolin have made a major contribution to mechanics by writing their book on structural ability....Their book is truly a major accomplishment. In its nearly one thousand pages the book covers both the elastic and inelastic buckling of columns, frames, plates and shells, and it also has extensive treatment of aspects of fracture and localization which are closely tied to stability. The book is well organized....The book contains hundreds of well chosen figures from the literature, problems to be worked by graduate students (or their teachers), and an extensive list of references accompanying each chapter which would be worth the price of the book by itself. The book is valuable as a reference for anyone in solid mechanics, and it can be used as a graduate text in courses on structural stability."--Journals of Applied Mechanics
"A monumental work which covers both classical and modern theories of structural stability and of material stability. . . . the authors have succeeded in keeoing the mathematical treatment of the subject relatively simple . . . and have brought together in a unified manner so much of what until now was known only to a few in the field. This resourceful and extraordinarily informative book is a landmark in the field of structural stability. The authors . . . treat the subject of stability in an exceedingly broad sense and present a gamut of theories seldom seen in book form. . . . a valuable treatise which provides the readers with an encyclopedic account of classical and modern theories of structural stability and of material stability. . . . an indispensable reference for those involved in research and practice in the field of stability. " --Journal of Singapore Structural Steel Society
"A monumental work, covering both classical and modern theories of structural stability and of material stability. . . . very relevant to engineering practice. Many examples given in the book can be used as benchmark checks to validate finite element code. This resourceful and extraordinarily informative book is a landmark in the field of structural stability. The authors, quite remarkably, treat the subject of stability in an exceedingly broad sense and present a gamut of theories seldom seen in book form. . . . a valuable treatise that provides readers with an encyclopedic account of classical and modern theories of structural stability and material stability. . . . an indispesable reference for all those involved in research and practice in the field of stability." --Journal of Structural Engineering ASCE
Product Description
Here is a comprehensive new textbook on one of the key subjects in engineering science: structural stability. Describing the principles and applications of stability analysis, the text is intended for first-year graduate students. It will also serve as a valuable reference for engineers and scientists seeking information on basic ideas, approaches, and concepts. In addition to traditional topics in elastic stability, the work gives considerable attention to nonelastic stability. It also examines modern stability problems of fracture and damage, the thermodynamic principles of stability in irreversible systems, viscoelastic and viscoplastic buckling, and many other key areas where information has been hard to locate or scattered among different sources. The emphasis is on providing an understanding of basic principles rather than detailed solutions of specialized problems. The treatment of each subject proceeds from simple examples to general concepts and rigorous formulations. All the basic results are derived, using mathematics as simple as possible without sacrificing efficiency. Much recent research is presented and the volume is as up-to-date as it is comprehensive. Many examples are given to illustrate key concepts, and 700 exercise problems will help students master this important subject.
