This is a 1988 text by an IIT Kanpur professor . This text solves governing differential equations using analytical methods and also by finite difference methods and finite element method. Graduate student will be able to find numerous examples , derivation on columns and plates. Stability problems are covered.

Excerpt from foreword :
"Today, the numerical techniques, for example, the finite element and finite difference techniques, are extensively applied for the solution of real-life problems. Accordingly, a large number of good books covering such techniques is available. However, each presents the applicability of only one or the other technique to structural stability problems. This text, on the other hand, lucidly discusses the structural applications of both the categories of techni-techniques, i.e., numerical and classical, and, in the process, also compares their performance. It essentially consists of two 'sections'. In one, mainly the one-dimensional structures, viz., columns, beams, and frames, are studied and, in the other, the two-dimensional structures, namely, plates, are dealt with. In both the sections, the elastic and inelastic behaviour of the structures is analyzed. The emphasis throughout is on the illustration of the techniques through numerous worked-out numerical examples. There is a conscious effort to present the results in a non-dimensional form so that these results are applicable for different materials, including composite materials."
