Opis

The book illustrates modern methods of static and dynamic analysis of structures and the methods for solving boundary value problems of structural mechanics and soil mechanics. The application of Spectral Method of Boundary Elements (SMBE) to the calculation of structures on the elastic foundation is examined.
