Description
Traditionally, engineers have used laboratory testing to investigate the behavior of metal structures and systems. These numerical models must be carefully developed, calibrated and validated against the available physical test results. They are commonly complex and very expensive. From concept to assembly, Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures provides civil and structural engineers with the concepts and procedures needed to build accurate numerical models without using expensive laboratory testing methods. Professionals and researchers will find Finite Element Analysis and Design of Metal Structures a valuable guide to finite elements in terms of its applications.

Ehab Ellobody
Prof. Ehab Ellobody is a professor of steel bridges and structures at Tanta University in Egypt. He earned his PhD from the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, in 2002, specializing in composite structures. Following his PhD, he has been engaged with research groups at Tanta University, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, The University of Hong Kong, The University of Manchester, and Sohar University. During his tenure as the dean at Sohar University, Oman, he managed the accreditation of undergraduate engineering programs. His expertise includes steel and composite structures, stainless steel structures, stability of steel and composite columns at ambient and elevated temperatures, finite element modeling, steel and composite bridges, structural fire engineering, and posttensioned and hollow-core concrete slabs in fire. Prof. Ellobody has published numerous international journal articles and conference papers in these fields. He has served as the editor of the Journal of Constructional Steel Research, Elsevier, and has overseen a special issue on topics related to steel bridges and their components.
