ABOUT THE BOOK

THEORY OF MATRIX STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS

AUTHOR : J S PRZEMIENIECKI (Institute Senior Dean and Dean of Engineering Air Force Institute of Technology)

PUBLISHERS : DOVER PUBLICATIONS, INC., NEW YORK

In this text the general theory of matrix structural analysis is presented. The following fundamental principles and theorems and their applications to matrix theory are discussed: principles of virtual displacements and virtual forces, Castigliano's theorems, minimum-strain-energy theorem, minimum-complementary-strain-energy theorem, and the unit-displacement and unit-load theorems. The matrix displacement and force methods of analysis are presented together with the elastic, thermal, and inertial properties of the most commonly used structural elements. Matrix formulation of dynamic analysis of structures, calculation of vibration frequencies and modes, and dynamic response of undamped and damped structural systems are included. Furthermore, structural synthesis, nonlinear effects due to large deflections, inelasticity, creep, and buckling are also discussed. 

The examples illustrating the various applications of the theory of matrix structural analysis have been chosen so that a slide rule is sufficient to carry out the numerical calculations. For the benefit of the reader who may be unfamiliar with the matrix algebra, Appendix A discusses the matrix operations and their applications to structural analysis. Appendix B gives an extensive bibliography on matrix methods of structural analysis.

This book originated as lecture notes prepared for a graduate course in Matrix Structural Analysis, taught by the author at the Air Force Institute of Technology and at the Ohio State University. The book is intended for both the graduate student and the structural engineer who wish to study modern methods of structural analysis; it should also be valuable as a reference source for the practicing structural engineer.

ABOUT THE BOOK

ELEMENTS OF THE THEORY OF STRUCTURES

AUTHOR : JACQUES HEYMAN, Emeritus Professor of Engineering University of Cambridge

PUBLISHERS :  Cambridge University Press 

                  The theory of structures is one of the oldest branches of engineering. There was early interest in large, indeed ostentatious, buildings, and the design of such buildings needed more than peasant tradition; they were intended to be, and were, spectacular feats, and they required professional advice from acknowledged masters. Names of their designers are known through two or three millenia, and building manuals have survived through the same period. (Man showed also an early interest in waging war, and military engineering is another ancient profession; civil engineers are non-military engineers.) 

                 As might be expected from an ancient discipline, the theory of structures is an especially simple branch of solid mechanics. Only three equations can be written; once they are down on paper, the engineer can in principle solve the whole range of structural problems. Sometimes the equations can be examined individually; sometimes a simple tool, virtual work, can be used to combine them to yield surprising results. In every case, however, it is only the three master equations which come into play. Equations of statics will ensure that a structure is in equilibrium. Geometrical equations will ensure that all parts of a structure fit together before and after deformation, and that the structure rests securely on its foundations. Finally, the properties of the material used to build the structure will enter the equations relating the strain in a member to the applied stress. 

                This book is concerned with the basic equations and the way in which they should be used. The equations themselves have an intrinsic interest, as does their application to a whole range of structural problems. The later chapters of this book give a tiny sample, from the almost infinite number of topics in the theory of structures, for which the results are important, or startling, or simply amusing.
