This work uniquely combines a comprehensive reference, a handbook, a textbook, & a guide on practical applications of plastic analysis for a wide scope of structures used in many industries. This handbook is as significant for plastic analysis applications as Roark"s Formulas or Kleinlgel"s Rigid Frame Formulas are for elastic analysis. The book is addressed to structural engineers and researchers working in civil, mechanical, naval, aircraft & space, ocean, oil & gas, chemical and other engineering industries. Pt. 1.
