The current
trend of building more streamlined structures has made stability analysis a
subject of extreme importance. It is mostly a safety issue because Stability
loss could result in an unimaginable catastrophe. Written by two authors with a
combined 80 years of professional and academic experience, the objective of
Stability of Structures: Principles and Applications is to provide engineersand architects with a firm grasp of the fundamentals and principles that are
essential to performing effective stability analysts.
Concise and
readable, this guide presents stability analysis within the context of
elementary nonlinear flexural analysis, providing a strong foundation for
incorporating theory into everyday practice. The first chapter introduces the
buckling of columns. It begins with the linear elastic theory and proceeds to
include the effects of large deformations and inelastic behavior. In Chapter 2
various approximate methods are illustrated along with the fundamentals of
energy methods. The chapter concludes by introducing several special topics,
some advanced, that are useful in understanding the physical resistance
mechanisms and consistent and rigorous mathematical analysis. Chapters 3 and 4
cover buckling of beam-columns. Chapter 5 presents torsion in structures in
some detail, which is one of the least well understood subjects in the entire
spectrum of structural mechanics. Strictly speaking, torsion itself does not
belong to a topic in structural stability, but needs to be covered to some extent
for a better understanding of buckling accompanied with torsional behavior.
Chapters 6 and 7 consider stability of framed structures in conjunction with
torsional behavior of structures. Chapters 8 to 10 consider buckling of plate
elements, cylindrical shells, and general shells. Although the book is
primarily devoted to analysis, rudimentary design aspects are discussed.
