Computational Structural Mechanics Static and Dynamic Behaviors [Paperback]

Computational Structural Mechanics: Static and Dynamic Behaviors provides a cutting-edge treatment of functionally graded materials and the computational methods and solutions of FG static and vibration problems of plates. Using the Rayleigh-Ritz method, static and dynamic problems related to behavior of FG rectangular, Levy, elliptic, skew and annular plates are discussed in detail. A thorough review of the latest research results, computational methods and applications of FG technology make this an essential resource for researchers in academia and industry.

• Explains application-oriented treatments of the functionally graded materials used in industry
• Addresses relevant algorithms and key computational techniques
• Provides numerical solutions of static and vibration problems associated with functionally graded beams and plates of different geometries
