This book treats computational modeling of structures in which strong nonlinearities are present. The goal is to simulate the numerically the behavior of a structure under various imposed excitations, loads, and displacements in order to optimize the structure and to minimize the damage subject to various constraints.
Provides practical applications of the methods for the design and optimization of structures and for the analysis of their reliability Presents the latest approaches and calculation methods to solve extremely complex problems Derives a general approach for understanding structural models and the necessary approximations
