Nash and Rose Nash, for their years of patient guidance toward his career. WILLIAM A. NASH is Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. He received his BS. and MS. from the Illinois, Institute of Technology and hic Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. He served as Structural Research Engincer at the David Taylor Research Center of the Navy Department in Washington, D.C., and was a faculty member at the University of Florida for 13 years prior to his present affiliation. He has had extensive consulting experience with the US. Air Force, the US. Navy Department, Lockheed Aerospace Corp., and the General Electric Co. His special areas of interest are structural dynamics and structural stability.

Problem solutions are given in both SI (metric) and USCS units. 2. About fourteen computer programs are offered in either FORTRAN or BASIC for those types of problems that otherwise involve tong, tedious computation. For example, beam stresses and deflections are readily deter- mined by the programs given. All of these programs may be utilized on most PC systems with only modest changes in input formal. 3. The presentation passes from elementary to more complex cases for a variety of structural elements subject to practical conditions of loading and support. Generalized treatments, such as elastic energy approaches, as well as plastic analysis and design are treated in detail. ‘The author is much indebted to Kathleen Derwin for preparation of most of the computer programs as well as careful checking of some of the new problems.
