With the advent of cheap powerful computers the possibility of performing analyses based on more realistic models has become widely available. One of the aims of this book is to describe the basic ingredients of a family of simple elastic-plastic models of soil behaviour and to demonstrate how such models can be used in numerical analyses. Such numerical analyses are often regarded as mysterious black boxes but a proper appreciation of their worth requires an understanding of the numerical models on which they are based. Though the models on which this book concentrates are simple, understanding of these will indicate the ways in which more sophisticated models will perform.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 153mmItem Width: 34mmItem Weight: 770gAuthor: David Muir WoodGenre: Technology & EngineeringRelease Year: 1991 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
