Trends in Structural Mechanics Theory, Practice, Education / edited by J. Roorda, N.K. Srivastava.

The desire to understand the mechanics of elastic and plastic solids, new materials and the stability, reliability and dynamic behaviour of structures and their components under extreme environmental conditions has dominated research in structural engineering for many decades. Advances in these area...
