Description

This book presents�essential�methods of deformation compatibility control, and�explicitly addresses the implied�conditions on�the methods��deformation compatibility.�Consequently, these conditions can be�considered in engineering structure design, while the conditions on stable equilibrium�can be taken into account in the design method.�Thus, the designed deformation and the actual deformation of the�respective�structure are approximately identical, guaranteeing both the flexibility of the construction material in force transmission and the equilibrium of force in the structure. Though�equilibrium theory in engineering structures has been extensively studied,�there has been comparatively little research�on compatibility. In the limited researches�available, the topics are�primarily�the theories and assumptions on the deformation compatibility, while few systematic�works�focus on the mechanical theoretical principles�and methods�of deformation compatibility control.�As such, the flexibility of the construction material in force�transmission and the stable equilibrium of the structure�as a whole cannot�be guaranteed based on these research results. Successfully addressing this important gap in the literature, the�book is intended for researchers�and�postgraduates�in engineering�mechanics, civil engineering�and related areas.Typham this is the title: Deformation Compatibility Control for Engineering Structures Methods and Applications
