Description: Handbook of Mechanical Stability in Engineering (In 3 Volumes) is a systematic presentation of mathematical statements and methods of solution for problems of structural stability. It also presents a connection between the solutions of the problems and the actual design practice.This comprehensive multi-volume set with applications in Applied Mechanics, Structural, Civil and Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics is useful for research engineers and developers of CAD/CAE software who investigate the stability of equilibrium of mechanical systems; practical engineers who use the software tools in their daily work and are interested in knowing more about the theoretical foundations of the strength analysis; and for advanced students and faculty of university departments where strength-related subjects of civil and mechanical engineering are taught.
Review Quotes: This 3-volume work is a systematic presentation of mathematical statements and methods of solution for problems of structural stability. It also presents a connection between the solutions of the problems and the actual design practice. The target audience of the book includes researchers in engineering, developers of CAD software who investigate the stability of equilibrium of mechanical systems, and practical engineers that who use software tools in their daily work and are interested in knowing more about the theoretical foundations of the strength analysis. The book can be useful for senior students of engineering, and for the faculty of university departments where strength-related subjects of civil or mechanical engineering are taught. -- Professor Vadim N Gordeyev, Ukrainian Research and Design Institute of Steel Constructions and "Professor Leonid A Rozin, St. Petersburg Polytechnic University"
