Mechanics of Structures Variational and Computational Methods, 2nd Edition
Editorial Reviews
Review
[This book] represents clear progress in this recent custom of popularizing structural mechanics … . … The book includes several important and deep topics that are often neglected in other works of the same kind. It shows a great effort towards completeness. It collects all classical variational principles of continuum mechanics … . … [T]he merit of the book resides in its colossal attempt to recombine three branches of the theory of elasticity (foundations, structures, numerical methods), which tend to diverge.

Book Description
The new edition of this bestseller presents a unified approach to the variational and computational mechanics of solids and structures. It covers the fundamentals of the theory of elasticity and variational theorems, along with generalized variational theorems and applications. The authors present matrix structural mechanics, finite elements, weighted residuals, finite differences, and boundary element methods in a rational, unified manner. This edition includes a new treatment of stability theory, a catalog of operator solid mechanics matrices, and a one-dimensional introduction to the finite element method. The authors have also included more examples and homework problems.
