First, the text presents the fundamental laws of mechanics, the theory of elasticity, and the development of the generalized stress-generalized strain concept. Next, it details the era of plasticity. The finite element method comes as an offspring of the generalized stress generalized strain concept. Finally, the authors explore the era of computer simulation to offer a glimpse into the future--Provided by publisher.Structural engineeringStructural engineering.624.1TEC005000TEC009020TEC063000bisacshChen Wai-Fah1936,1553621El-Metwally Salah El-Din E1553622MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910789548403321Understanding structural engineering3814294UNINA
