Informationen zum Autor Dr Edmund S Melerski, who sadly passed away just before publication of this book, was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Tasmania, Australia. He had over 35 years of experience in university teaching and research in the area of structures and structural analysis, gained in four countries. His major research interests were associated with the soil-structure interaction analysis, resulting in a large number of papers and this definitive work. Klappentext Provides extensions of unique techniques of numerical analyses of beams! long strips! circular plates! and circular-cylindrical tanks resting on elastic foundations and/or unyielding/elastic supports. This work contains complementary software containing programmes for elastic-plastic soil-structure interaction analyses of beams and strips. Zusammenfassung An updated and extended version of the first edition of the book of the same title. It outlines elastic numerical analyses. Solution techniques incorporate a variant of the direct stiffness method, an energy based finite difference approach, and a finite element method. Inhaltsverzeichnis Part 1: Analysis 1.
