Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams: Computational Methods |
| Walter D. Pilkey (Univ. of Virginia) |
| State-of-the-art coverage of modern computational methods for the analysis and design of beams Analysis and Design of Elastic Beams presents computer models and applications related to thin-walled beams such as those used in mechanical and aerospace designs, where thin, lightweight structures with high strength are needed. This book will enable readers to compute the cross-sectional properties of individual beams with arbitrary cross-sectional shapes, to apply a general-purpose computer analysis of a complete structure to determine the forces and moments in the individual members, and to use a unified approach for calculating the normal and shear stresses, as well as deflections, for those members cross sections.
In addition, this book augments a solid foundation in the basic structural design theory of beams by: *Providing coverage of thin-wall structure analysis and optimization techniques *Applying computer numerical methods to classical design methods *Developing computational solutions for cross-sectional properties and stresses using finite element analyses
