Reanalysis of structures: a unified approach for linear, nonlinear, static and dynamic systems

This book deals with various computational procedures for multiple repeated analyses (reanalysis) of structures, and presents them in a unified approach. It meets the need for a general text covering the basic concepts and methods aswell as recent developments in this area. Reanalysis is common to numerous analysis and design tasks such as nonlinear analysis, structural optimization, damage analysis, and probabilistic analysis. The book discusses various analysis models, including linear and nonlinear analysis, static and dynamic analysis, and design sensitivity analysis. It demonstrates how various concepts and methods are integrated to achieve effective solution procedures. The approach presented has several advantages in terms of generality, efficiency of the calculations, accuracy of the results and ease of implementation. Efficiency and accuracy considerations are discussed and illustrated. To clarify the presentation, many illustrative examples and numerical results are demonstrated. Brings previous literature up to date Has wide use in applications in various fields of engineering Can be used both as reference and as course text INDICE: From the contents 1 Static Analysis. 2 Vibration Analysis. 3 Dynamic Analysis. 4 Reanalysis of Structures. 5 Static Reanalysis. 6 Vibration Reanalysis. 7 Dynamic Reanalysis. 8 Direct Reanalysis. 9 Repeated Sensitivity Analysis. 10 Computational Considerations.
