Nonlinear Beam and Cable Mechanics in Engineering Applications Vol 2

The book consists of 2 indivisible Volumes, and provides a collection of typical engineering problems, consisting in 1D nonlinear models of increasing complexity, such as: planar/non-planar, extensible/inextensible, prestressed/unprestressed beams, isolated or constituting frames, as well as strings and cables under static, dynamic, travelling and aerodynamic forces. Problems are solved via perturbation and/or numerical approaches.
