This book offers unique insight on structural safety and reliability by combining computational
methods that address multiphysics problems involving multiple equations describing different
physical phenomena and multiscale problems involving discrete sub-problems that together
describe important aspects of a system at multiple scales. The book examines a range of
engineering domains and problems using dynamic analysis nonlinear methods error estimation
finite element analysis and other computational techniques. This book also: · Introduces novel
numerical methods · Illustrates new practical applications · Examines recent engineering
applications · Presents up-to-date theoretical results · Offers perspective relevant to a wide
audience including teaching faculty graduate students researchers and practicing engineers.
