Book Description
This book presents the application of new techniques in analyzing truss and frame structures. The book contains two main sections: Numerical Analysis of Structures and Mass-Saving in Structures. Under each section, different approaches on the topic are given. Covered in these sections are dynamic stability analysis, design optimization considering vibration, FEM analysis, topology optimization methods, and recommendations to build lightweight structures. It is believed that this book will be helpful to its readers for new perspectives on the analysis of structures.

Book Description
Simplified finite element methods for finite deformation, post-buckling analysis of large space trusses and space frames are presented. Arbitrarily large rigid translations and rigid rotations of each member are accounted for. Each 3-D truss member is assumed to withstand an axial force, while each 3-D frame member is assumed to withstand two bending moments, a twisting moment, and transverse and axial forces at each node. The influence of local (member) buckling on global instability is systematically examined. For both 3-D truss and frame members, explicit tangent stiffness matrices are derived. By 'explicit;' it is meant that no element-wise basis functions are assumed and that no element-wise numerical integrations are involved. These explicit tangent stiffness matrices are very simply evaluated at any point in the load deformation history of a space truss, or space frame, undergoing large deformations, as well as in the post-buckled region of behavior of these structures. An arc-length method is implemented to trace the post-buckling behavior of these large space structures. A large number of examples are included to: (1) bring out the economy as well as accuracy of the simplified method developed; (2) indicate the effectiveness of the present method in creating reduced-order models of large space structures; and (3) delineate the process whereby the overall behavior of the structure can be vastly improved by controlling the deformation of individual members through active or passive mechanisms. Keywords: Reduced order model; Simplified nonlinear analysis; Finite deformations; Finite rotations; Semi-tangential rotations; Exact tangent stiffness matrix; LSS (Large Space Structure) control; Arc-length method.

Book Description
The development of the limit state approach to design in recent years has focused particular attention on two basic requirements: accurate information regarding the behavior of structures throughout the entire range of loading up to the ultimate strength, and simple practical procedures to enable engineers to assess this behavior. This book satisfies these requirements by providing practical analysis methods for the design of steel frames. The book contains a wide range of second-order analyses: from elastic to inelastic, rigid to semi-rigid connections, and simple plastic hinge method to sophisticated plastic-zone method. Computer programs for each analysis are provided in the form of a floppy disk for easy implementation. Sample problems are described and user's manuals are well documented for each program developed in the book.

Book Description
Space frames provide a lightweight solution to the problem of creating large span enclosures free from obstructions. They are employed in many major constrcution projects across the world, as documented in this authoritatively written volume.This is the first in-depth book to present all instances and applications of space frames in various engineering schemes. It uses case studies and numerous illustrations to examine steel space frames from their design to their structural engineering performance.
