Full Description

Advanced Structural Analysis: From Theory to Computer Implementation (OpenSees Examples with Python Code Solutions) starts by laying out the differential equations governing various structural elements and shows how to solve simple structures directly using concepts from differential equations and boundary value problems. Introducing the Green's Functions Stiffness Method (GFSM), a novel technique related to the traditional Stiffness Method (SM) and FEM, the GFSM corrects FEM and merges SM's strengths with those of Green's Functions. The book features numerous examples and exercises with Python code solutions, some of which also demonstrate the use of OpenSees, a popular FEM program.

By offering theoretical foundations and practical numerical implementations, it provides a comprehensive understanding of structural analysis concepts.
