Structural Analysis, Design and Control by the Virtual Di...
Holnicki-Szulc, Jan / Gierlinski, Jacek T
This book presents the general concept of the Virtual Distortion Method with the necessary theoretical background and a number of its applications to problems of structural analysis and design. The approach presented allows for the development of efficient computational methods for the numerical analysis of problems where, e.g., local failures, the temperature field or permanent plastic deformations are described by virtual distortions. On the...
