Plates and FEM
The Finite Element Method, shortly FEM, is a widely used computational tool in structural engineering. Only for special structures and for forensic investigations the analyst need to apply more advanced features like plasticity and cracking to account for material nonlinearities, or nonlinear relations between strains and displacements for geometrical nonlinearity to account for buckling. For basic design purposes it usually suf ces to apply a linear-elastic analysis.
In this book we will abstain from such special cases and focus on everyday jobs. Advanced analysis techniques may also be necessary if we have to judge the remaining structural capacity of aging structures. Our goal is the worldwide everyday use of linear-elastic analysis, and dimensioning on basis of these elastic computations.
We cover steel and concrete structures, though attention to structural concrete prevails.
