Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

The analysis of engineering structures has always been a challenge to engineers and in the past classical methods were used to quantify the response of a structure to the applied forces. These methods were suitable for the analysis of relatively simple structures that could be solved by hand calculations but complicated structures had to be simplified to a model that could be solved by classical methods. The results however were approximations depending on the modifications made to the structure as well as on the experience and judgement of the analyst. These limitations led to the derivation of the slope-deflection equations for continuous beams and later formulation of the moment distribution method. With the advent of electronic computers systematic procedures for the analysis of structures have been developed. Computer programs help in obtaining required solutions to the simultaneous equations in the case of structures where the number of equations is large and hand calculations are not suitable. The detailed work with simultaneous equations can be made in a general and compact form by using matrix notation leading to the development of the matrix methods of structural analysis. This book deals with the analysis of engineering structures made of skeletal members and covers the type of structures that are commonly used in practice. It builds up on the subject matter dealing with matrix algebra analysis of bar elements special forms of members stability and vibration of structures and pin-connected rigid-plane and 3D frames. It treats the important step of formulating the overall stiffness matrix of a structure in a systematic and straightforward manner and uses simple mathematical approaches wherever possible. The book is reader friendly particularly for beginners who have no prior knowledge in this subject and can also be used as a textbook by undergraduate and postgraduate students studying for a degree in civil structural or mechanical engineering as well as by practicing engineers who have not studied this subject but are using software packages that deal with the analysis of engineering structures. | Analysis of Structures by Matrix Methods

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials

This book is an up-to-date review of the most important plasma-based techniques for material modification from microelectronics to biological materials and from fusion plasmas to atmospheric ones. Each its technical chapters is written by long-experienced internationally recognised researchers. The book provides a deep and comprehensive insight into plasma technology and its associated elemental processes and is illustrated throughout with excellent figures and references to complement each section. Although some of the topics covered can be traced back several decades care has been taken to emphasize the most recent findings and expected evolution. The first time the word ‘plasma’ appeared in print in a scientific text related to the study of electrical discharges in gases was 1928 when Irving Langmuir published his article ‘Oscillations in Ionized Gases’. It was the baptism of the predominant state of matter in the known universe (it is estimated that up to 99% of matter is plasma) although not on earth where the conditions of pressure and temperature make normal the states of matter (solid liquid gas) which in global terms are exotic. It is enough to add energy to a solid (in the form of heat or electromagnetic radiation) to go into the liquid state from which gas is obtained through an additional supply of energy. If we continue adding energy to the gas we will partially or totally ionise it and reach a new state of matter plasma made up of free electrons atoms and molecules (electrically neutral particles) and ions (endowed with a positive or a negative electric charge). | Plasma Applications for Material Modification From Microelectronics to Biological Materials
