Informationen zum Autor T.H.G. Megson was a professor emeritus with the Department of Civil Engineering at Leeds University (UK). For Elsevier he wrote the market leading Butterworth Heinemann textbooks Aircraft Structures for Engineering Students and Introduction to Aircraft Structural Analysis (a briefer derivative of the aircraft structures book), as well as the text/ref hybrid Structural and Stress Analysis. Klappentext Presents a comprehensive overview of structural and stress analysis Includes numerous worked examples and end-of-chapter problems Extensively illustrated to help visualize concepts Contains a greater focus on digital trends in structural engineering, including newer computer analysis methods and how to check output of such methods to avoid ?black-box' engineering Contains additional worked examples on plastic analysis of frames, bending moment distribution and displacement evaluations on collapse mechanics Introducescontent on statics to ensure that students know the basic concepts and can understand the equilibrium principles that govern all structures as well as the principles of the mechanisms involved in computer-based calculations.
