Description
Book Synopsis
- Is reader friendly, particularly for a beginner who has no prior knowledge in this subject, because it is more organised and better structured
- Treats the important step of formulating the overall stiffness matrix of a structure in a systematic and straightforward manner, which is quite often not very clearly explained in most textbooks on the market
- Has the level of detail and clear presentation of the subject matter as one of its main features, which is an important factor that helps the reader to easily follow and understand the topic presented
- Gradually build up on the subject matter, with the chapters arranged in a sequence to serve the purpose
- Use simple mathematical approaches wherever possible so that even a reader with knowledge of a first course in mathematics can easily understand the operations performed
