Analysis of Structures offers an original way of introducingengineering students to the subject of stress and deformationanalysis of solid objects, and helps them become more familiar withhow numerical methods such as the finite element method are used inindustry.
Eisley and Waas secure for the reader a thorough understandingof the basic numerical skills and insight into interpreting theresults these methods can generate.
Throughout the text, they include analytical developmentalongside the computational equivalent, providing the student withthe understanding that is necessary to interpret and use thesolutions that are obtained using software based on the finiteelement method. They then extend these methods to the analysis ofsolid and structural components that are used in modern aerospace,mechanical and civil engineering applications.
Analysis of Structures is accompanied by a book companionwebsite www.wiley.com/go/waashousing exercises and examples that use modern software whichgenerates color contour plots of deformation and internal stress.Itoffers invaluable guidance and understanding to senior level andgraduate students studying courses in stress and deformationanalysis as part of aerospace, mechanical and civil engineeringdegrees as well as to practicing engineers who want to re-train orre-engineer their set of analysis tools for contemporary stress anddeformation analysis of solids and structures.
* Provides a fresh, practical perspective to the teachingof structural analysis using numerical methods for obtaininganswers to real engineering applications
* Proposes a new way of introducing students to the subject ofstress and deformation analysis of solid objects that are used in awide variety of contemporary engineering applications
* Casts axial, torsional and bending deformations of thin walledobjects in a framework that is closely amenable to the methods bywhich modern stress analysis software operates.
