Topics: Demonstrative example solutions in static analysis

• Analysis of various problems to demonstrate, study, and evaluate solution methods in statics
• Example analysis: Snap-through of an arch
• Example analysis: Collapse analysis of an elastic-plastic cylinder
• Example analysis: Large displacement response of a shell
• Example analysis: Large displacements of a cantilever subjected to deformation-independent and deformation-dependent loading
• Example analysis: Large displacement response of a diamond-shaped frame
• Computer-plotted animation: Diamond-shaped frame
• Example analysis: Failure and repair of a beam/cable structure
