معرفی کتاب The Rayleigh−Ritz Method for Structural Analysis
It is a privilege to have the opportunity to share with you some of our interesting experience in the journey of learning and research about structural analysis. The specific path we are exploring here is a superhighway – a variational technique called the Rayleigh–Ritz method or the Ritz method. I was introduced to this method during my PhD studies by an excellent supervisor, Professor Stuart Dickinson at the University of Western Ontario. Prior to this, another excellent supervisor (my BSc and MSc supervisor), the late Dr Stuart Tillman (University of Manchester), had taught me the Lagrangian multiplier method. Dr Tillman’s lectures were such that one has only to listen once – from then on the material stays crystal clear. So the reason I became interested in these techniques (other than the fact that they are very handy for vibration analysis which was my research area) is perhaps the passion that my teachers showed in the subject.
