LOAD-BEARING CAPACITY AND FAILURE MECHANISMS OF THIN-WALLED STRUCTURES MARIA KOTEŁKO

Discover the fascinating world of thin-walled structures, where theory meets engineering practice. Maria Kotełko's book is a compendium of knowledge for every specialist, engineer, and student who wants to explore the secrets of load-bearing capacity and failure mechanisms. It is not only a textbook but also an inspiration to look for innovative solutions in the design and analysis of structures.

• Solid foundations of rigid-plastic theory
• Practical applications in engineering
• Detailed analyses of failure mechanisms
• Use of the method of finite elements
• Modeling complex phenomena
• Innovative solutions in projects
• Accessible style for every reader

In the first part of the publication, the author focuses on the theoretical foundations of rigid-plasticity, which are necessary to understand the behavior of materials in the context of their load-bearing capacity. The introduction to this theory allows for a better understanding of the mechanisms that govern the destruction of structures. The analyses contained in the publication are supported by examples, which facilitates their assimilation. The finite element method is another key issue discussed in the book. The author describes in detail how this modern computational technique can be used to analyze thin-walled structures. Thanks to it, it is possible to model complex phenomena, such as the destruction of thin plates subjected to compression and crushing, the behavior of compressed columns, and the analysis of crushed girders.

This book is extremely valuable for engineers who want to introduce innovative solutions in their projects, as well as for students who want to explore the topic in a practical way. This publication is an invaluable source of knowledge for specialists in the field of thin-walled structures. Thanks to the clear and accessible style, every reader, regardless of their level of advancement, will find valuable information in it. This book is ideal for engineers, students, and anyone interested in the subject of thin-walled structures.
