The early books on stability of structures by S.P. Timoshenko, and F. Bleich treat a variety of problems normally encountered in engineering. However, the discussion in these excellent texts is limited to classical techniques and to metallic materials. In view of the rapid advance- advancement in computer technology and the development of new techniques for solving engineering problems, the classical techniques have become purely of academic interest. Further, new materials such as fibre reinforced composites are increasingly being used because of the many advantages they have over the conventional metallic materials.
Today, the numerical techniques, for example, the finite element and finite difference techniques, are extensively applied for the solution of real-life problems. Accordingly, a large number of good books covering such techniques is available. However, each presents the applicability of only one or the other technique to structural stability problems. This text, on the other hand, lucidly discusses the structural applications of both the categories of techni- techniques, i.e., numerical and classical, and, in the process, also compares their performance. It essentially consists of two 'sections'. In one, mainly the one-dimensional structures, viz., columns, beams, and frames, are studied and, in the other, the two-dimensional structures, namely, plates, are dealt with. In both the sections, the elastic and inelastic behaviour of the structures is analyzed. The emphasis throughout is on the illustration of the techniques through numerous worked-out numerical examples. There is a conscious effort to present the results in a nondimensional form so that these results are applicable for different materials, including composite materials.
