DESCRIPTION:
The book is a valuable treatise which provides the readers with an encyclopedic account of classical and modern theories of structural stability and of material stability. All will profit from the way in which unusual examples are used to illuminate unfamiliar aspects of the subject-matter. Unique in that it deals more fully with nonelastic stability than do similar texts." --The New York Public Library"Especially welcome for its uncommonly broad horizons and its innovative features .Numerous examples, exercises, references to real-life engineering situations and even technical codes, are bound to be appreciated by teachers and students in structural mechanics and by practicing engineers as well. "This is a very welcome book, tackling a subje
A bible for 'analytical analysis of stability of structures' This text book offers extensive collections of analytical analyses of stability of structures. If you want to find a great book about analytical methods (rather than numerical techniques). This book is the one. It's hard to imagine a textbook that can beat this. Good Reference This book is a great reference for any structural engineer's library, although it is definitely more of a graduate/PhD level. For instance, as a working structural engineer for 10+ years, I really haven't needed such a reference. But now that I am in graduate s

A crucial element of structural and continuum mechanics, stability theory has limitless applications in civil, mechanical, aerospace, naval and nuclear engineering. It has been proven as a text for introductory courses and various advanced courses for graduate students. The authors' focus on understanding of the basic principles rather than excessive detailed solutions, and their treatment of each subject proceed from simple examples to general concepts and rigorous formulations. The book is an unabridged republication of the 1991 edition b
