Analysis of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures
Analysis of Geometrically Nonlinear Structures Author:Robert Levy, William R. Spillers This book provides a simple extension of the methods of linear structural analysis to the case of geometrically nonlinear effects. Its importance derives from the theorem stating that "in the presence of pre stress, geometrically nonlinear effects are of the same order as linear elastic effects". It is the precursor of efforts to include no... more »nlinear effects in elementary discussions of structural analysis.« less
