This book introduces readers to modern computational mechanics based on the finite element method. It helps students succeed in mechanics courses by showing them how to apply the fundamental knowledge they gained in the first years of their engineering education to more advanced topics.
In order to deepen readers’ understanding of the derived equations and theories, each chapter also includes supplementary problems. These problems start with fundamental knowledge questions on the theory presented in the chapter, followed by calculation problems. In total over 80 such calculation problems are provided, along with brief solutions for each.
This book is especially designed to meet the needs of Australian students, reviewing the mathematics covered in their first two years at university. The 13-week course comprises three hours of lectures and two hours of tutorials per week.

The purpose of the Kirby Technical Handbook is to assist the building designer or potential metal building owner in the proper and economical use of the pre-engineered buildings ( PEB ) and structural steel systems.
It is further intended that building officials,architects, designers, consultants and engineers will refer to and apply the data in this manual when considering approval of Kirby buildings.
Kirby buildings are designed by professional engineers and this manual was prepared under their direct supervision.
Dimensions and units used in this manual are in accordance with SI-the International System of Units. Where applicable, the unit now in common use is also shown for reference.
This manual is the property of Kirby Building Systems and will be revised periodically as changes are innovated. Architectural, structural and mechanical adaptations shown in this manual are intended to be typical only and Kirby therefore accepts no responsibility unless specifically agreed in writing

Fully describes optimization methods that are currently most valuable in solving real-life problems. Since optimization has applications in almost every branch of science and technology, the text emphasizes their practical aspects in conjunction with the heuristics useful in making them perform more reliably and efficiently. To this end, it presents comparative numerical studies to give readers a feel for possibile applications and to illustrate the problems in assessing evidence. Also provides theoretical background which provides insights into how methods are derived. This edition offers revised coverage of basic theory and standard techniques, with updated discussions of line search methods, Newton and quasi-Newton methods, and conjugate direction methods, as well as a comprehensive treatment of restricted step or trust region methods not commonly found in the literature. Also includes recent developments in hybrid methods for nonlinear least squares; an extended discussion of linear programming, with new methods for stable updating of LU factors; and a completely new section on network programming. Chapters include computer subroutines, worked examples, and study questions.

The primary objective of this book is to bridge this gap by presenting the concepts in composites in an integrated and balanced manner and expose the reader to the total gamut of activities involved in composite product development. It includes the complete know-how for development of a composite product including its design & analysis, manufacture and characterization, and testing.The book has fourteen chapters that are divided into two parts with part one describing mechanics, analytical methods in composites and basic finite element procedure, and the second part illustratesr materials, manufacturing methods, destructive and non-destructive tests and design.

Probabilistic Assessment of Structures using Monte Carlo Simulation

Abstract: The process of improving structural design, including reliability assessment, requires that special attention will be given to all ingredients of the design procedure. These include theoretical concepts, experimental data, and computational tools applied in the evaluation of structural safety, serviceability and durability. The tremendous progress made in computer technology from the calculators of the pre-computer era to the powerful computers now available to all designers contributes nowadays to qualitative improvements of the entire design procedure.
The development of computer technology makes possible now to use fully probabilistic reliability assessment concepts. Such a transition requires not only the development of new methods corresponding to the potential of computers, but also a change from the current designer’s deterministic “way of thinking” to a probabilistic one. The primary aim in writing this book and attached software supplemented by a large number of illustrative examples is to provide the reader with the foundation for an understanding of full probabilistic reliability assessment procedure based on Monte Carlo simulation technique.

Features
Uniquely combines the fundamentals of structural dynamics with robust coverage of the latest American Society of Civil Engineers seismic load specifications, specifically the Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures (ASCE 7 Standard).
Includes electronic resources, such as image galleries, PowerPoint presentations, solutions manual, and a course syllabus/outline.
Presents the material from a fundamental perspective, and transitions from seismology to basic statics and dynamics to analysis and design.
Provides detailed computational tools, specifically MATLAB®, to perform seismic analysis of single- and multi-degree of freedom systems.
Summary
This book is intended primarily as a textbook for students studying structural engineering. It covers three main areas in the analysis and design of structural systems subjected to seismic loading: basic seismology, basic structural dynamics, and code-based calculations used to determine seismic loads from an equivalent static method and a dynamics-based method. It provides students with the skills to determine seismic effects on structural systems, and is unique in that it combines the fundamentals of structural dynamics with the latest code specifications. Each chapter contains electronic resources: image galleries, PowerPoint presentations, a solutions manual, etc.

Abstract: Concrete and steel are used structurally in such large quantities that
methods of design, fabrication or construction that can show economies
in final cost are of great utility. The object of this book is to
present one combined application of the two materials in which they
are intimately linked to form composite structural elements. The
emphasis of the book is towards the engineering applications of
composite construction through an explanation, in general terms, of
the principles of the subject, followed by sections on the uses of composite
construction in buildings and bridges.
