Analysis of Structures: An Introduction Including Numerical Methods – Joe G. Eisley, Antony M. Waas – 1st Edition

Structural Analysis offers an original way of introducing engineering students to the subject of analysis of stresses and deformations of solid objects; this text also helps them to become familiar with how numerical methods such as the finite element method are used in the industry.
Eisley and Waas assure the reader a deep understanding of the basic knowledge and a vision of the interpretation of the results of these that can be generated with numerical methods.

Throughout the text, we include the development of analysis along with the computational equivalent, providing the student with the understanding that it is necessary to interpret and use the solutions that are obtained by the software based on the finite element method. We then extend these methods for analysis of the solid and structural components that are used in modern aerospace, mechanical and civil engineering applications.
