Synopsis

This text combines concepts of graph theory and matrix algebra to present powerful tools for the analysis of large-scale structures. In this third edition, Kaveh (Iran University of Science and Technology, Tehran) develops approaches for the analysis of large-scale systems, and provides new material on vector spaces associated with graphs, algorithms for planar embedding of space structures, and novel applications of symmetry for calculating the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of some special matrices. The text can be used in structural analysis courses for civil and mechanical engineering at the PhD, MSc, and BSc levels. It is distributed in the US by AIDC.

About this title

Synopsis

The increasing complexity of practical structures requires new tools for handling their problems and the theory of graphs is one such powerful means. This book presents efficient methods for optimal analysis of structures, leading to the formation of structural matrices which are sparse.
