Summary : This revised and significantly expanded edition contains a rigorous examination of key concepts, new chapters and discussions within existing chapters, and added reference materials in the appendix, while retaining its classroom-tested approach to helping readers navigate through the deep ideas, vast collection of the fundamental methods of structural analysis. The authors show how to undertake the numerous analytical methods used in structural analysis by focusing on the principal concepts, detailed procedures and results, as well as taking into account the advantages and disadvantages of each method and sphere of their effective application. The end result is a guide to mastering the many intricacies of the range of methods of structural analysis. The book differentiates itself by focusing on extended analysis of beams, plane and spatial trusses, frames, arches, cables and combined structures; extensive application of influence lines for analysis of structures; simple and effective procedures for computation of deflections; introduction to plastic analysis, stability, and free and forced vibration analysis, as well as some special topics. Ten years ago, Professor Igor A. Karnovsky and Olga Lebed crafted a must-read book. Now fully updated, expanded, and titled Advanced Methods of Structural Analysis (Strength, Stability, Vibration), the book is ideal for instructors, civil and structural engineers, as well as researches and graduate and post graduate students with an interest in perfecting structural analysis. Adds new chapters on Space Frameworks, Forced Vibration, Special Topics, and Nonlinear Structural Analysis; Retains comprehensive presentation of the fundamental methods of analysis (Initial Parameters method, Force method, Displacement method) as it applies to problems of statics, stability and vibration; Reinforces concepts with student exercises (and instructors' solutions manual);Discusses consequences of introducing additional assumptions to, and/or rejecting the assumptions of classical mechanics; Concludes the text with new summaries of Modeling of Structures and Fundamental Developments in the History of Structural Mechanics.
