Forms and concepts for lightweight structures
By: Miura, Koryo.
Contributor(s): Pellegrino, Sergio.
Publisher: Cambridge Cambridge University Press 2020Description: x, 403p.ISBN: 9780521432740.Subject(s): Structural engineering | Lightweight constructionDDC classification: 624.1 | M698f Summary: Covering a wide range of structural concepts and presenting both relevant theories and their applications to actual structures, this book brings together for the first time lightweight structures concepts for many different applications and the relevant scientific literature, thus providing unique insights into a fascinating field of human endeavour. Evolved from a series of graduate courses taught by the authors at the University of Tokyo, the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science, the University of Cambridge and the California Institute of Technology, this textbook provides both theoretical and practical insights and presents a range of examples which also provide a history of key lightweight structures since the Apollo age. This essential guide will inspire the imagination of engineers and provide an analytical foundation for all readers.Item type | Current location | Collection | Call number | Status | Date due | Barcode | Item holds |
