Opis

Starting from the basic principles of equilibrium of forces and moments, all subsequent theories of structural analysis have been discussed logically. Divided into two parts, this book discusses basics of mechanics and principles of degrees of freedom upon which the entire paradigm rests followed by analysis of determinate/indeterminate structures.

O autorze

Debabrata Podder is currently working as an Assistant Professor (CE) at National Institute of Technology Meghalaya, India. He has completed his Engineering education from Jadavpur University and Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur. After a brief stint as Civil Engineer (S002) at Shapoorji Pallonji & Co. Ltd., Mumbai, he took to academics. He has published one book named as Residual stresses, distortions and their mitigation for fusion welding (ISBN: 978-3-659-94213-6) and papers in several peer reviewed journals. His research interests include welding induced deformations and residual stresses, FEA of structures, theoretical and computational solid mechanics, structural analysis and design. Santanu Chatterjee is a Bachelor of Engineering from Jadavpur University, Kolkata in Construction Engineering and professionally certified from IIT Kanpur on Finite Element Analysis (NPTEL – IIT Kanpur). He has research and industrial experience in the field of Civil/Structural Design Engineering for more than 14 years. He has been also involved in civil design of several solar power plants. He also takes interest in concepts of string theory and quantum mechanics and recently got his paper selected for International Conference on Mathematical Modeling in Physical Sciences (ICM-square 2019 and published in Journal of Physics: Conference Series 1391 (2019) doi:10.1088/1742-6596/1391/1/012066) and one of his papers got awarded as best scientific paper at National Institute of Technology Durgapur (Published in International Journal of Recent Technology and Engineering (IJRTE) ISSN: 2277-3878, Volume-8 Issue-2S7, July 2019), International Conference on renewable energy( ICCARE-2019), India. Presently he is working on development of a calculation tool for transmission line foundation system layout that would enable engineers to draw transmission tower foundation layout with minimal input and compute design quantitates for execution of work.
