When this volume was first published, plastic theory was the most modern method of structural analysis, and it made possible the direct design of steel frames i

Plastic Design of Steel Frames assesses the current status and future direction of computer-based analyses of inelastic strength and stability for direct frame

This book concentrates upon the mathematical theory of plasticity and fracture as opposed to the physical theory of these fields, presented in the thermomechani

Modelling forms an implicit part of all engineering design but many engineers engage in modelling without consciously considering the nature, validity and conse
