Introductory Tensorial Algorithms In Structural Mechanics

Book Cover & Preview Text
Well established engineering research in theoretical and applied structural dynamics and continuum mechanics has directly rushed researchers into numerical programming. Whereas an equivalent research into tensorial upgrading of theoretical or applied structural dynamics and continuum mechanics is plausible. Unfortunately, it became familiar, the use of computer programs as software closed boxes, with little concern to their frame of reference construction and proper or accurate use. Most users became satisfied by consumption of such programs! Several work shops were executed to establish a methodology to fill up the gap between developed continuum theories or engineering practice and numerical computer programming. Utilizing tensorial analysis and reference frame independence the subjects in this book are discussed

About the Book
This book is designed for use as a textbook for courses in: Computer and Numerical Programming, Tensor Analysis, Continuum Mechanics, Structural Dynamics, Vibrations and Stochastic Processes; such might be offered in Civil Engineering, Engineering Mechanics and Analysis, Earthquake Engineering, Ocean Engineering, Aeronautics Engineering and Astronautics Engineering. It is also intended to be used as a reference for engineers and as a comprehensive guide lines or code and methodological approach for researchers in order to establish engineering programming algorithms. Algorithms are presented compactly, consequently and frame ordered. Computer programs are written in FORTRAN.
