This book will be useful for bridge design engineers as well as researchers working in the field. This book only requires previous knowledge of structural finite element models and dynamics, and it is advisable to have some previous knowledge in bridge engineering.

In this revised second edition, Elements of Plasticity continues to bridge the gap between classical theory and modern computational techniques and does so by focussing on the most important elements of theory and computation using matrix notation.

This theoretical and practical discussion of deployable structures formulates and solves the complex engineering design problems with which they are associated. It provides a general overview and then moves on to focus on strut deployable structures of the self-locking type.
