About this Item

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Divided into 12 chapters, Matrix Methods for Advanced Structural Analysis begins with anintroduction to the analysis of structures (fundamental concepts and basic steps of structuralanalysis, primary structural members and their modeling, brief historical overview of methodsof static analysis, programming principles, and suggestions for the rational use of computerprograms). This is followed by the principal steps of the Direct Stiffness Method including planetrusses, plane framed structures, space trusses, and space framed structures. The case ofplane or space framed structure, including possible rigid elements at their beam ends (rigidjoints) is discussed in detail. Other topics discussed in this reference include the procedure for analyzing beams with internalreleases (partial connection of beam elements) and elastic hinges, as well as the alternativehandling of internal releases by modifying the element stiffness matrix. Furthermore, theMethod of Substructures is demonstrated for the solution of large-scale models in terms of theassociated number of degrees of freedom. 468 pp. Englisch.

About this title

Synopsis

Matrix Methods for Advanced Structural Analysis covers in detail the theoretical concepts related to rockbursts, and introduces the current computational modeling techniques and laboratory tests available. The second part is devoted to case studies in mining (coal and metal) and tunneling environments worldwide. The third part covers the most recent advances in measurement and monitoring.

Special focus is given to the interpretation of signals and reliability of systems. The following part addresses warning and risk mitigation through the proposition of a single risk assessment index and a comprehensive warning index to portray the stress status of the rock and a successful case study. The final part of the book discusses mitigation including best practices for distressing and efficiently supporting rock.

• Provides a brief historical overview of methods of static analysis, programming principles and suggestions for the rational use of computer programs
• Provides MATLAB® oriented software for the analysis of beam-like structures
• Covers the principal steps of the Direct Stiffness Method presented for plane trusses, plane framed structures, space trusses and space framed structures
