Structural Dynamic Systems Computational Techniques and Optimization: Reliability and Damage Tolerance / Edition 1

by C. Leondes, Cornelius T. Leondes

Overview

Among the principal causes of failure in structural dynamic systems are exceedance of maximum structural systems design limit and structural fatigue failure. These processes are analyzed in this volume, and require sophisticated methods such as stochastic processes and their interactions with a structure as applied forces with stochastic description, finite element techniques, and other processes. Once these aspects are understood and applied, approaches to enhancing the reliability and damage tolerance of structural systems can be examined and applied to specific structural dynamic systems. This volume offers a comprehensive treatment of the issues and the sophisticated techniques involved and includes numerous illustrative examples.
