Book Description
The presence on the market of more and more user friendly structural analysis software takes to the fact that a Finite Element code user is not always prepared to dress the stress engineer clothes. Facing this situation from a cultural point of view is not certainly easy, above all when economic interests are present and therefore the vendors tend to highlight the simplicity of using a modern program and to hide the possible dangers and the sources of possible errors.Everyone will agree with the fact that knowing the use of CAD software for technical drawing, i. e. knowing the way to generate graphical entities, will not make the user a designer; in the same way the knowledge, supported by modern structural codes, in building a finite element model will not make anyone a structural engineer.The idea of this book borns from here. These pages want to be a guide in order to give the instruments to the user that, for any reason, has to face the automatic structural calculation.Obviously the book just touches the surface of a problem which is very big and complex (many references to important aspects are not treated, such as instability, modal analysis and, last but not least, non linear analysis). Nevertheless we hope that this job will contribute, even if as a minimal part, to fill up the voids present in the "classical texts" that prefer to deal with the theory despite of the practical aspects.

Book Description
Nowadays, numerical computation has become one of the most vigorous tools for scientists, researchers and professional engineers, following the enormous progress made during the last decades in computing technology, in terms of both computer hardware and software development. Although this has led to tremendous achievements in computer-based structural engineering, the increasing necessity of solving complex problems in engineering requires the development of new ideas and innovative methods for providing accurate numerical solutions in affordable computing times. This collection aims at providing a forum for the presentation and discussion of state-of-the-art innovative developments, concepts, methodologies and approaches in scientific computation applied to structural engineering. It involves a wide coverage of timely issues on computational structural engineering with a broad range of both research and advanced practical applications. This Research Topic encompasses, but is not restricted to, the following scientific areas: modeling in structural engineering; finite element methods; boundary element methods; static and dynamic analysis of structures; structural stability; structural mechanics; meshless methods; smart structures and systems; fire engineering; blast engineering; structural reliability; structural health monitoring and control; optimization; and composite materials, with application to engineering structures.

Book Description
This text combines the previous two, Computer Aided Structural Design and Advanced Techniques in Structural Design, into a single volume. This operation was not a simple "Copy & Paste", but a total revision, which required many additions and eliminated almost nothing. There has also been a reorganization of the subjects, so that some topics have been moved to Part I, dedicated to the linear elastic calculations, making Part II a little less "meaty", but enriched with some practical examples.All the examples, old and new, have been redone using ABAQUS in its version 6.14-2, but they can be repeated using any other Finite Element code; indeed, the encouragement is to try to compare the results obtained with other programs.

Book Description
This class-room tested book, representing the teaching experience of over two decades by the authors, is designed to cater to the needs of senior undergraduate and first-year postgraduate students of civil engineering for a course in Advanced Structural Analysis/Matrix Methods of Structural Analysis/Computer Methods of Structural Analysis. The book endeavours to fulfil two principal objectives. First, it acquaints students with the matrix methods of structural analysis and their underlying concepts and principles. Second, it demonstrates the development of well-structured computer programs for the analysis of structures by the matrix methods. After a thorough presentation of the mathematical tools and theory required for linear elastic analysis of structural systems, the text focuses on the flexibility and stiffness methods of analysis for computer usage. The direct stiffness method which forms the backbone of most computer programs is also discussed. Besides, the physical behaviour of structures is analyzed throughout with the help of axial thrust, shear force, bending moment and deflected shape diagrams. A large number of worked-out examples are included to amplify the concepts and to illustrate the effect of external loads, including the effect of temperature, lack of fit, and settlement of supports, etc. The CD-ROM contains many illustrative computer programs and the usage of modern packages such as Excel and Matlab. The book will also be a useful reference for practising structural engineers who wish to pursue the versatility of matrix methods as a tool for computer applications.

Book Description
Following the great progress made in computing technology, both in computer and programming technology, computation has become one of the most powerful tools for researchers and practicing engineers. It has led to tremendous achievements in computer-based structural engineering and there is evidence that current devel- ments will even accelerate in the near future. To acknowledge this trend, Tongji University, Vienna University of Technology, and Chinese Academy of Engine- ing, co-organized the International Symposium on Computational Structural En- neering 2009 in Shanghai (CSE’09). CSE’09 aimed at providing a forum for presentation and discussion of sta- of-the-art development in scientific computing applied to engineering sciences. Emphasis was given to basic methodologies, scientific development and engine- ing applications. Therefore, it became a central academic activity of the Inter- tional Association for Computational Mechanics (IACM), the European Com- nity on Computational Methods in Applied Sciences (ECCOMAS), The Chinese Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanic, the China Civil Engineering So- ety, and the Architectural Society of China. A total of 10 invited papers, and around 140 contributed papers were p- sented in the proceedings of the symposium. Contributors of papers came from 20 countries around the world and covered a wide spectrum related to the compu- tional structural engineering.
