OPTIMUM STRUCTURAL DESIGN
Edited by R.H. Gallagher, Cornell University and O.C. Zienkiewicz, University College, Swansea
This book is a comprehensive coverage of optimum structural design, dealing with both formal optimization and interactive 'computer aided design' aspects, by leading workers in the field. It is based on a series of lectures given at a symposium held in Swansea in January 1972.

BRIDGE DECK ANALYSIS
A.R. Cusens, University of Dundee and R.P. Pama, Asian Institute of Technology, Bangkok
This book presents the theory and applications of the analytical techniques used in finding stresses in highway and other bridge decks. Initially trends in bridge design and construction are discussed and succeeding chapters cover the various analytical methods with particular attention paid to those not covered in specialized texts on individual techniques.

FINITE ELEMENTS FOR THIN SHELLS AND CURVED MEMBERS
Edited by
D.G. Ashwell Civil Engineering, University College, Cardiff
and
R.H. Gallagher Civil Engineering, Cornell University, Ithaca, NY
The book represents a collection of papers on the finite element analysis of thin shell structures, most of which were presented at a conference at Cardiff, Wales in May 1974. In contrast to the usual conference proceedings however, the chapters in this book have been preselected to give a coverage of the component parts of the topic and have been edited to minimize duplication and give unified nomenclature insofar as is possible. The major areas covered are: past developments, basic theory, alternative methods of formulation and practical application.
To date, the finite element analysis of thin shell structures has been covered in books only to the extent of one or two chapters, if at all. Information regarding this important application of the finite element method has been scattered about the periodical literature and conference proceedings. Thus, the present work collects and co-ordinates this data. The numerical data from 'standard' comparison cases should be useful to those planning new developments. Information is also given here to those seeking formulations of verified accuracy and efficiency. Vissza
