E-Book Overview
Computational mechanics has made a strong impact on classical continuum mechanics, which includes engineering mechanics and structure mechanics. Earthquake engineering has achieved significant progress with the aid of computational mechanics. This book covers some new aspects of earthquake engineering that are based on computational mechanics, i.e., computational earthquake engineering.
