Wai-Fah Chen, E. M. Lui ... Structural Stability: Theory and Implementation is a practical work that provides engineers and students in structural engineering or structured mechanics with the background needed to make the transition from fundamental theory to practical design rules and computer implementation. Beginning with the basic principles of structural stability and basic governing equations,Structural Stability is a concise and comprehensive introduction that applies the principles and theory of structural stability (which are the basis for structural steel design) to the solution of practical building frame design problems.

Special features include: Modern theories of structural stability of members and frames, and a discussion of how these theories may be utilized to provide design rules and calculation techniques for design + Important governing equations and the classical solutions used in design processes + Examples of analytical and numerical methods selected as the most useful and practically applicable methods available + Detailed information on the stability design rules of the 1986 AISC/LRFD Specifications for the design, fabrication, and erection of structural steel for buildings + Dual units (SI and English) with most of the material presented in a non-dimensional format + Fully worked examples, end-of-chapter problems, answers to selected problems, and clear illustrations and tables. Am outstandingly practical resource, Structural Stability offers the reader an understanding of the fundamental principles and theory of structural stability not only in an idealized, perfectly elastic system, but also in an inelastic, imperfect system representative of the actual structural systems encountered in engineering practice.

Structural dynamics is a diverse theme covering a variety of topics, some of which have direct applications in structural design. Among the latter a clear distinction can be made between those necessary for the engineer in the daily practice of structural design and those related to academic activities, research, and the development of commercial products. Each chapter deals independently with a subject in structural dynamics without a necessary link to the foregoing chapters. This approach allows the reader to go directly to the topic of his interest. Written as an overview of many aspects of structural dynamics, this book is intended for engineers who normally tackle design situations involving dynamic loads with the appropriate computer software in the daily practice of design.

This book presents an innovative new approach to studying source mechanisms of earthquakes, combining theory and observation in a unified methodology, with a key focus on the mechanics governing fault failures. It explains source mechanisms by building from fundamental concepts such as the equations of elasticity theory to more advanced problems including dislocation theory, kinematic models and fracture dynamics. The theory is presented first in student-friendly form using consistent notation throughout, and with full, detailed mathematical derivations that enable students to follow each step. Later chapters explain the widely-used practical modelling methods for source mechanism determination, linking clearly to the theoretical foundations, and highlighting the processing of digital seismological data. Providing a unique balance between application techniques and theory, this is an ideal guide for graduate students and researchers in seismology, tectonophysics, geodynamics and geomechanics, and a valuable practical resource for professionals working in seismic hazard assessment and seismic engineering.
