Beams and Framed Structures, Second Edition deals with the material
strength and stiffness of beams and plane frames. The theory of
structures, as applied to frames, is examined, with emphasis on bending
moments throughout the frame and the resulting deformations. Linear
elastic structures and plastic collapse and elastic-plastic structures
are considered. Comprised of three chapters, this book begins
with an introduction to the basic equations on equilibrium, deformation,
virtual work, and the relationship between bending moment and
curvature. The next chapter is devoted to elastic beams and frames, with
particular reference to the principle of superposition; energy methods
for elastic frames; moment distribution; and thermal effects. The final
chapter focuses on plastic beams and frames and covers topics such as
theorems of plastic collapse; elastic-plastic analysis; deflexions at
collapse; and interaction diagrams. Throughout the text, it is assumed
that all members of a frame remain stable, so that instability phenomena
do not occur. This monograph will be of interest to structural and mechanical engineers.
