Synopsis

Research into and design of deployable structures requires the combination of many skills including knowledge of traditional mathematics, understanding of nonlinear structural behavior, use of modern numerical methods of simulation, and a great deal of engineering ingenuity. Accessible to practicing structural engineers and graduate students with no previous knowledge of the field, this title formulates and solves the complex engineering design problems with which deployable structures are associated. It also presents the issue of design of snap-through type deployable structures in an organized way which will be of interest to more experienced readers. Up-to-date practice and recent research results are highlighted throughout.

About this title

Review

"This is an excellent reference book, perhaps the only one on Deployable Structures... an excellent starting point for researchers." -- Journal of Structural Engineering, January 2002

Synopsis

Written for graduate students and structural engineers, this book formulates and solves the complex engineering design problems with which deployable structures are associated. Chapters discuss earth-based deployable structures, deployable structures for space application, geometric design, structural analysis, design methodology, and design exampl
