Kaveh1st ed. 2014.Cham :Springer International Publishing :Imprint: Springer,2014.1 online resource (xvi, 432 pages) illustrations (some color)Gale eBooksDescription based upon print version of record.9783319029634 3319029630 Includes bibliographical references.From the Contents: Basic concepts of structural analysis and graph theory -- Optimal force method of structural analysis -- Optimal displacement method of structural analysis -- Ordering for optimal patterns of structural matrices: graph theory methods.Graph theory gained initial prominence in science and engineering through its strong links with matrix algebra and computer science. Moreover, the structure of the mathematics is well suited to that of engineering problems in analysis and design. The methods of analysis in this book employ matrix algebra, graph theory and meta-heuristic algorithms, which are ideally suited for modern computational mechanics. Efficient methods are presented that lead to highly sparse and banded structural matrices. The main features of the book include: application of graph theory for efficient analysis; extension of the force method to finite element analysis; application of meta-heuristic algorithms to ordering and decomposition (sparse matrix technology); efficient use of symmetry and regularity in the force method; and simultaneous analysis and design of structures.Mechanics, AppliedSolidsGraph theoryMathematicsData processingComputational intelligenceSolid MechanicsGraph TheoryComputational Science and EngineeringComputational IntelligenceMechanics, Applied.Solids.Graph theory.MathematicsData processing.Computational intelligence.Solid Mechanics.Graph Theory.Computational Science and Engineering.Computational Intelligence.004006.3511.5620Kaveh A(Ali),1948-authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1596023MiFhGGMiFhGGBOOK9910299496303321Computational Structural Analysis and Finite Element Methods4463291UNINA
