Descrizione articolo

Riassunto

This book treats computational modeling of structures in which strong nonlinearities are present. The goal is to simulate the numerically the behavior of a structure under various imposed excitations, loads, and displacements in order to optimize the structure and to minimize the damage subject to various constraints.
