Covers theoretical underpinnings of nonlinear analysis of framed structure in terms of the direct stiffness method along with its transition to the finite element method. Computational modelling and nonlinear analysis of geometric and material nonlinearities are explored. Familiarity with the modern computing and programming environments is increased to address the needs in the structural engineering and mechanics area. Computer programming is applied to the solution of problems in nonlinear structural analysis.
