Non-Classical Problems in the Theory of Elastic Stability by Isaac Elishakoff (PDF)

Description

When a structure is put under an increasing compressive load, it becomes unstable and buckling occurs. This important work discusses stability analysis and buckling problems and offers practical tools for dealing with uncertainties that exist in real systems. The techniques are based on two complementary theories that are developed in the text: the probabilistic theory of stability and “anti-optimization,” a theory that is valid when the necessary information for probabilistic analysis is absent, that is, when only scant data are available. Design engineers, researchers, and graduate students in aerospace, mechanical, marine, and civil engineering concerned with issues of structural integrity will find this book a useful reference source.

Editorial Reviews: Review “This substantial and attractive volume is a well-organized and superbly written one that should be warmly welcomed by both theorists and practitioners…Profs. Elishakoff, Li, and Starnes, Jr. have given us a jewel of a book, one done with care and understanding of a complex and essential subject and one that seems to have ably filled a gap existing in the present-day literature and practice.” Current Engineering Practice”Most of the subjects covered in this outstanding book have never been discussed exclusively in the existing treatises…This unique book prepared by Isaac Elishakoff, one of the eminent solid mechanics experts of the 20th century and the present one, and his distinguished coauthors, will be of enormous use…” Ocean Engineering”…all readers, students, and certainly reviewers should read this preface for its excellent presentation of the philosophy and raison d’être for this book. It is well written, with the material presented in an informational fashion as well as to raise questions related to unresolved of questionable challeneges. The book meets its objectives and should be included in the library of active researchers and students of structural stability…In the vernacular of film critics, ‘a thumbs up.'” AIAA Journal”The treatment is scholarly, having about 900 items in the bibiliography and additional contributors in the writing of almost every chapter…This reviewer beleives that Non-Classical Problems in the Theory of Elastic Stability should be a useful reference for researchers, engineers, and graduate students in aeronautical, mechanical, civil, nuclear, and marine engineering, and in applied mechanics.” Applied Mechanics Reviews Book Description Presents techniques for stability analysis based on the probabilistic theory of stability or ‘anti-optimization’ theory.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐The text is a compilation of the primary author’s (Elishakoff’s)technical papers over the span of several decades. While the topics covered on the general subject of buckling, sensitivity analysis, and probabilistic approaches to buckling should have been good, this is another example of a text where neither the authors (of which there were three) nor the publisher proofread the equations or figures in the text prior to releasing the same old mistakes and typographical errors. Many of the equations contain errors and cannot be utilized as published. Do not punsih any students by utilizing this error ridden text as-is in the classroom!
