Acerca del autor

Demeter G. Fertis is professor of civil engineering at the University of Akron. He was previously an associate professor at the University of Iowa and at Wayne State University, and a research engineer in the Michigan State Department of Transportation. Dr. Fertis was also visiting professor at the National Technical University in Athens, Greece. During his teaching career, he taught more than twenty graduate courses on different subjects, in the Civil, Mechanical, and Engineering Mechanics Departments. He has received a BS degree (1952) in civil engineering and urban planning and an MS degree (1955) in civil engineering from Michigan State University, East Lansing, and a Doctor of Engineering degree (1964) from the National Technical University of Athens, Greece. Dr. Fertis has consulted for NASA, Ford Motor Company, the Atomic Power Development Associates, General Motors, Boeing Aircraft Company, Lockheed California Company, Goodyear Aerospace, and the Department of the Navy. He has developed patents, which received international attention and used by professional engineers. He is the author of many books, published by major publishers, and numerous articles in professional journals and proceedings. A member of ASCE, ASME, the American Academy of Mechanics, Who's Who in America, Who's Who in the World, and many other organizations, Professor Fertis has served as a professional journal editor and as a member of many national and international technical committees.

Dr. Fertis is now an Emeritus Professor at the University of Akron and devotes his time doing scholarly research, writing scholarly books, giving lectures, and advancing technology by developing new methodologies for the solution of complicated engineering problems.

De la contraportada

This book is aiming to concentrate on the nonlinear static and dynamic analysis of structures and structural components that are widely used in everyday engineering applications. It approaches a nonlinear problem by mathematically converting it into an exact equivalent pseudolinear one, in contrast to commonly used approaches which are based on linear concepts. The new concepts, theories and methods introduced in this book, simplify a great deal the solution of the complex nonlinear problems, and also allow for the correct usage of the powerful existing linear methods of analysis.

Based on this way of thinking, the book also provides a reasonable treatment regarding the nonlinear analysis of inelastic plates, suspension bridges and their failures, multistory buildings subjected to strong earthquakes, as well as many other interesting nonlinear problems, such as thick cylinders, inelastic torsion, inelastic vibrations, inelastic analysis of flexible members, and many more.
