The present chapter is the culmination of the procedures developed thus far: It allows the
analysis of complicated connected structures. In the previous chapters, the systems of …

The availability of computers has, in real terms, moved forward the practice of structural
engineering. Where it was once enough to have any analysis given a complex configuration …

This study presents a thorough review of the applications of the Kantorovich method to
several plate problems. The main objective of this review is to compile an up-to-date list of …

The engineering community generally accepts that there exists only a small set of closed-
form solutions for simple cases of bars, beams, columns, and plates. Despite the advances …

The dynamic behavior of multi-span non-uniform beams transversed by a moving load at a
constant and variable velocity is investigated. The continuous beam is modelled using …

This work gives exact solutions for the buckling loads of variable cross-section columns,
loaded by variable axial force, for several boundary conditions. Both the cross-section …

Free vibration analysis of Timoshenko beams has been presented. Discrete singular
convolution method is used for numerical solution of equation of motion of Timoshenko …

The presence of curved centroidal axis in tapered monosymmetric I-beams results in
coupling between the axial and flexural behaviours. In this paper, an extended Timoshenko …

The application of the dynamic stiffness method (DSM) for free-vibration analysis of beams is
surveyed in this paper. The historical development of the DSM, which has taken place in …

In this paper the exact vibration frequencies of generally laminated beams are found using a
new method, including the effect of rotary inertia and shear deformations. The effect of shear …
