The book "Certain-element approach to the assessment of the stability of structures" by E. In. Golubeva is a unique publication that immerses the reader in the world of modern engineering analysis and design. It reveals key aspects of the application of finite element method (CEM) to assess the stability of various designs, making it an indispensable tool for students, graduate students and professionals in the field of construction and mechanical design. The main theme of the book is a deep understanding of the principles of structural stability and their assessment using advanced numerical methods. The author explains in detail how exactly KEM allows modeling of complex physical processes occurring in materials and structures under the influence of various loads. The reader will get acquainted with basic concepts, such as linear and nonlinear stability, as well as with analysis methods that are used to solve actual problems in engineering practice. The book will be especially interesting for those who are passionate about engineering, architecture and construction. Students of technical universities, graduate students and young professionals will find in it not only theoretical foundations, but also practical examples that will help to better understand how to apply the knowledge gained in real projects. It will also be useful to experienced engineers seeking to update their knowledge of modern methods of analysis and design. One of the key topics raised in the book is the importance of structural sustainability in modern construction projects. With the ever-increasing safety and durability requirements of buildings and structures, knowledge of sustainability assessment techniques is becoming critical. Golubev focuses on how to correctly interpret the results of numerical modeling and how to avoid common errors, making the book a valuable resource for practicing engineers. The author's style is distinguished by clarity and accessibility of presentation, which makes it easy to assimilate even the most complex concepts. E. In. Golubev is a well-known specialist in the field of mechanics and construction theory, and his work has already established itself as a reliable source of knowledge. Among his other well-known works are “Mechanics of composite materials” and “The theory of elasticity and plasticity”, which are also popular among specialists. The book “A finite-element approach to assessing the sustainability of structures” not only enriches the reader with knowledge, but also inspires new ideas and solutions in the field of design. It will be an excellent addition to the library of any engineer seeking professional growth and the development of new technologies. If you are looking for literature on topics related to engineering analysis, structural stability, numerical methods and design, this book will be a real find for you. Do not miss the opportunity to deepen your knowledge and skills in an area that plays a key role in modern construction.
