This book is aiming to concentrate on the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of structures and structural components that are widely used in everyday engineering applications. It approaches a nonlinear problem by mathematically converting it into an exact equivalent pseudolin…
"Nonlinear static monotonic (pushover) analysis has become a common practice in performance-based bridge seismic design. The popularity of pushover analysis is due to its ability to identify the failure modes and the design limit states of bridge piers and to provide the progres…

This volume has been thoroughly revised and updated to reflect major developments in finite element analysis since the third edition. It now places a marked emphasis on structural mechanics whilst still clearly explaining basic theory. Authors Cook, Malkus, Plesha and Witt have …
