Libai, A.; Simmonds, J. G., «The Nonlinear Theory of Elastic Shells» , Cambridge University Press | 553 pages | ISBN-13 9780521472364 | ISBN-10 0521472369 | DJVU | 1998| 12 Mb
Elastic shells are pervasive in everyday life. Examples of these thin-walled structures range from automobile hoods to basketballs, veins and arteries, and soft drink cans. This book explains shell theory, with numerous examples and applications. This second edition not only brings all the material of the first edition entirely up to date; it also adds two entirely new chapters on general shell theory and general membrane theory. Aerospace, mechanical, and civil engineers, as well as applied mathematicians, will find this book a clearly written and thorough information source on shell theory.

How to unlock this support option? I cann't find any option for fem analysis in AFES yet the program says that it has FEM capability. Please guide me through if anyone is using GS AFES.
Thanks and Regards,
The ability of a structural assembly to carry loads and forces determines how stable it will be over time. Viewing structural assemblages as comprising columns, beams, arches, rings, and plates, this book will introduce the student to both a classical and advanced understanding of the mechanical behavior of such structural systems under load and how modeling the resulting strains can predict the overall future performance-the stability-of that structure. While covering traditional beam theory, the book is more focused on elastica theory in keeping with modern approaches. This text will be an expanded and updated version a similar, previously published book, but with pedagogical improvements and updated analytical methods.
This engineering textbook will provide a focused treatment on the study of how structures behave and perform when under stress loading, including plastic deformation and buckling. All advanced engineering students studying engineering mechanics, structural analysis and design, fatigue and failure, and other related subjects need to have this knowledge, and this book will provide it in a thorough and coherent fashion. Written by two of the world's leading engineering professors in this subject area, the pedagogy has been classroom-tested over many years and should find a receptive readership among both students and instructors.
* An understandable introduction to the theory of structural stability, useful for a wide variety of engineering disciplines, including mechanical, civil and aerospace engineering
* Covers both static and dynamic loads, for both conservative and nonconservative systems
* Emphasizes elastic behavior under loads, including vertical buckling, torsional buckling and nonlinear affects of structural system buckling and stability
* Case examples to illustrate real-world applications of Stability Theory

The Pentagon Building Performance Report
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers | ISBN: 0784406383 | edition January 2, 2003 | PDF | 100 pages | 2,4 mb
On the afternoon of September 11, 2001, ASCE’s Structural Engineering Institute established a building performance study team to examine the structural damage inflicted on the Pentagon by the crash. The members of the team reviewed available information on the structure, crash loading, and eyewitness accounts and drew on focused assessments by others. After performing impact, static and thermal analyses, the BPS team made recommendations for future design and construction and suggestions on areas where research and development is needed. Their findings are disclosed in the Pentagon Building Performance Report. With over 150 full color illustrative photos, diagrams and tables, The Pentagon Building Performance Report provides a thorough assessment of the structural system that prevented extensive collapse of the building. From the redundant and alternative load paths of the unique beam and girder framing system, to the ability of the structure to absorb excess energy, the Pentagon withstood both structural and thermal trauma better than would have been expected. Complete with a chronological description of the events leading to impact, the crash and its subsequent effect on the structural system, this report reveals exactly how and why the Pentagon structure performed so well on the morning of the September 11, 2001 attacks.

Guide for Sound Insulation in wood frame construction
This Guide addresses flanking transmission of sound through wood framed construction. Continuous structural elements and connections at the junctions of partition walls and floors provide transmission paths that by-pass the separating partition between two noise-sensitive spaces. Flanking transmission is sound transmission between two rooms by paths other than directly through the nominally separating wall or floor assembly.
Flanking exists in all buildings and its importance in determining the apparent sound insulation (that perceived by the occupants) depends on of the construction details of the walls, the floors and their junctions.
This Guide is the derivative of four industry-sponsored research projects conducted at IRC/NRC. The focus and construction details were decided by a Steering Committee of technical representatives from each of the supporting partners. Partners included Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, Forintek Canada Corporation, Marriott International, National Research Council Canada, Owens Corning, Trus Joist, and USG.
This Guide supersedes the version published in 2005. This version includes estimates of the flanking due to directly attached gypsum board on ceilings, corridor walls, and exterior walls. (The first version assumed that these surfaces were mounted on resilient channels, and thus had negligible effect.)

V.I. Feodosiev, «Advanced Stress and Stability Analysis»
Springer-Verlag| 1st Edition | 424 pages | ISBN-10: 3540239352 | PDF | February 28, 2005 | 19Mb
This book is a collection of problems for advanced students in the area of Strength of Materials. It draws the reader´s attention also to problems that are often overlooked and answers questions that are far beyond a training course and require more fundamental understanding. All problems are provided with detailed solutions to enable the reader to either learn about the problem-solving process or just to check his/her own way of solution. The research and educational Work of V.I. Feodosiev was carried out in the Bauman Moscow State technical University where he held the course on Strength of Materials for 50 years. Deep insight into engineering problems, clearness of concepts and elegance of solutions accompanied by pedagogical talent are the main features of his style.
