Nonlinear Analysis of Thin-Walled Structures: Statics, Dynamics, and StabilityPaperback, 6 December 2010

This text deals with the computational analysis of thin-walled structures, such as tanks, aircraft, ships, and domes, showing how to use computational matrix methods to tackle some of the fundamental of structural mechanics, and emphasizing nonlinear phenomena. By describing the methods on which commercial software packages are based, the discussion allows an engineer to evaluate the results these computations produce.
