Overview

Static analysis is a special case of dynamic analysis. The main reason for using static or pseudo-static analysis is the simplicity of the design and the analysis itself. Many structures such as buildings, bridges, dams, ships, airplanes, and more are studied by a dynamic analysis, which is a more complicated and time-consuming analysis compared to a static one; such structures studied in this way are safer and their behavior is closer to reality. Thanks to the important evolution of computer science, numerical methods, and mathematical models, we are boldly confronting the analysis of the most complex structures with huge dimensions, all this in a few hours in order to have an exact behavior of these structures closer to reality through the use of static dynamics and analysis. Structural Dynamics and Static Nonlinear Analysis From Theory to Application is concerned with the challenging subject of structural dynamics and the hydrodynamic principle as well as nonlinear static methods of analysis for seismic design of structures. The chapters are arranged into three parts. The first deals with single-degree of freedom (DOF) systems. The second part concerns systems with multiple degrees of freedom (DOF) with which one can create analytical and mathematical models of the most complex structures, passing through the hydrodynamic principle with an application in real cases. The last part sheds light on the principle of nonlinear static methods and its application in a real case. This book is ideal for academics, researchers, practicing structural engineers, and research students in the fields of civil and/or mechanical engineering along with practitioners interested in structural dynamics, static dynamics and analysis, and real-life applications.

Mourad Belgasmia is a Lecturer and Thesis Adviser joined the team of the Civil Engineering department of university of Bejaia (Algeria) on December 2001 as a lecturer (assistant professor), till 2008, Since 2008 till now with the team of the Civil Engineering department of university of Setif 1 (Algeria). He spent two years (from 2004 to 2006) at the laboratory of structural and continuum Mechanics at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, working then on seismic evaluation of existing structures and new structures using Pushover Analysis. And at several occasion since for shorter periods the work was mainly on approximate method for seismic evaluation of buildings this research is documented in two substantial internal reports. His responsibilities during this period in the laboratory of structural and continuum Mechanics at Swiss Federal Institute of Technology(EPFL) Switzerland (Lausanne) From July 2004 to July 2006 is Assistant of the implementation of new method in z-soil software. His teaching experience is Strength of materials, Finite element method, Continuum Mechanics, Steel Construction, Computer language programming, Structural Dynamic, Pre-stressed concrete. His research directions are seismic expertise, dynamic of structures, object oriented programming, xfem extend finite element method. Mourad Belgasmia is a book editor, (co) author of 18 papers in refereed international journals and more than 20 international conferences.
