A one-dimensional beam metamodel -- Straight beams -- Curved beams -- Internally constrained beams -- Flexible cables -- Stiff cables -- Locally-deformable thin-walled beams -- Distortion-constrained thin-walled beams. Nonlinear models of elastic and visco-elastic onedimensiona…
Nonlinear models of elastic and visco-elastic onedimensional continuous structures (beams and cables) are formulated by the authors of this title. Several models of increasing complexity are presented: straight/curved, planar/non-planar, extensible/inextensible, shearable/unshea…
Shows many uses of the grid beam system, a modular and reusable building system requiring only a wrench, and includes photos of projects built over a sixty-year period.
Grid beam is a modular, reusable building system that is fast, easy, affordable, and virtually goof-proof. Ordinary people with few skills and even fewer tools (all you need is a wrench!) can tackle projects ranging from furniture and shop benches to more ambitious projects like…
This volume describes engineering applications of the mechanics of deformable bodies and the elasticity theory relevant to them. It is concerned mainly with one-dimensional problems, which arise because either one of the dimensions of a body is much greater than the remaining tw…
"The present book belongs to the book series of "Computer Aided Bridge Engineering" for the design of pre-stressed concrete (PSC), I-girder (I-Beam), and PSC box-girder bridges. In this volume, the real project design calculations for a deck-girder superstructure are presented a…
