Until recently, many people thought big data was a passing fad. "Data science" was an enigmatic term. Today, big data is taken seriously, and data science is considered downright sexy. With this anthology of reports from award-winning journalist Mike Barlow, you'll appreciate ho…
This second edition of the highly acclaimed and successful first edition, deals primarily with the analysis of structural engineering systems, with applicable methods to other types of structures. The concepts presented in the book are not only relevant to skeletal structures bu…
Abstract mathematical concepts from graph theory and topology are applied to important problems of computational mechanics. These methods lead to highly sparse, well-conditioned structural matrices of specified patterns.
