Maria Kotelko, Load Capacity and Mechanisms of Destruction of Thin-Walled Structures, WNT, 2015 (in Polish)

One of the main requirements in the design of the structure is the high value of the ratio of its capacity to own weight, which ensures optimum use of the material of construction. Of particular importance is the parameter in the case of thin-walled structures commonly used in maszynoznawstwie and construction, as usually they lose their load-bearing capacity due to the loss of stability. Proper estimate their capacity requires solutions to many complex theoretical problems, including taking into account the mechanism of destruction. The author of this book discussed the issues necessary to accomplish this task:
- Basic theory of rigid-plastic and its application to the thin-walled structures,
- The use of the finite element method in the field of mechanisms of structural damage of this type,
- Solutions for load capacity and the destruction of thin plates subjected to compression and crushing, poles compression, and thin-walled beams crush.
The book is intended for specialists who study the capacity of thin-walled structures, designers, architects and students of mechanical, construction, transport and civil engineering.
