The present edition accounts for changes in practice that have taken place in the intervening years, and it incorporates advances in the art of analysis we regard as suitable for application now and of increasing importance to practitioners in the years just ahead. "Among the major changes from the fist edition isthe addition of chapters on the nonlinear analysis of framed structures, treatment of the solution of nonlinear prob- lems, and packaging of a compact disk containing the computer program, MASTAN2 ‘The major reductions include the deletion of Chapter 7 on the flexibility method, Section 10:7 on the transfer matrix method, and Chapter 12 on the finite element method. The entice text and illustrative examples have also been edited extensively, and several chapters have been repositioned. These changes deserve some explanation. ‘The reduction in coverage ofthe flexibility method was presaged by a comment the preface to the fist edition: "Iti hardly used in practice.” Although the method is advantageous in certain cizcumstances and we believed it might receive greater atten- tion if east in a more efficient form, such has not been the case. Therefore, the de- velopment of flexibility method equations of global analysis has been deleted. But extensive coverage of the flexibility approach to the determination of element force- displacemeat relationships has been retained because of the value that it has in many instances, Elimination of the global flexibility method formulation also lec to recon- sideration of the chapter on the equations of statics and kinematics (Chapter 6 of the first edition) which was in large measure preparation for the identification ofredundant forces in the flexibility method. That material has been deleted also. The other dele- tions-material on the transfer matrix method and the general finite clementconcept— were made in the interest in retaining a reasonably wieldy volume. ‘The additions represent some departures from the spint of the fist edition. In that edition’s preface it was noted tha, in concentrating onthe direct stiffness method, we ‘were dealing with an accredited, widely practiced procedure, whereas an earlier gen- tration of texts frequently dealt with subject matter that was not fully crystallized. Nonlinear structural analysis has a long history and itis the subject of « number of books and some highly sophisticated computer programs, but it can hardly be called “crystallized.” Many ofits features are ad hoo—in the good sense of the term—and are in need of reduction to more routine procedures through further research and ‘generalization. Others may always require the expertise of specialists in analysis, as ‘opposed to the design engineer who has many additional concerns, Nevertheless, itis believed to be timely, and indeed necessary, to include an introduction to nonlinear analysis in a text on the analysis of framed structures, particularly those of the civil ‘engineering variety. Techniques for its practical application are at hand, and there is 2 growing awareness of their place in design. Similarly in the fst edition we decided to exclude computer programs, citing in its preface their rapid obsolescence aud the widespread availability of commercial pro- grams such as STRUDL.
