This textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to matrix methods of structural analysis, framed within a discrete modeling approach that is well-suited for digital computation. Two principal procedures—namely, the Matrix Force Method and the Matrix Displacement Method—are thoroughly illustrated for one-dimensional structural systems. Among them, the Matrix Displacement Method is more widely... Read more

Biography

Muhammad Akram Tahir obtained his B.Sc. in Civil Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology (UET) Lahore. He obtained his Master and Doctoral Degrees in Structural Engineering from Asian Institute of Technology. Dr. Tahir enjoyed the patronage of Prof. Pisidhi Karasudhi, Prof. Worsak Kanok Nukulchai, Prof. Tamon Ueda, Prof. Martin Wieland, Prof. Gupta and many others who are authorities in structural engineering.

Worsak Kanok-Nukulchai holds a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in 1978 under Fulbright Scholarship. He joined the Bangkok-based Asian Institute of Technology (AIT) in 1979, retired as AIT President in 2018 and is currently AIT Emeritus Professor. He returned from his retirement in 2019 to serve as the Founding Executive Director of a specially established Chulalongkorn School of Integrated Innovation (ScII) with unique curriculum to groom talents for the changing world of digital era. Professor Worsak was inducted into the Royal Society of Thailand’s Academy of Science in 2016, the AIT Hall of Fame in 2019 and Chulalongkorn Engineers Hall of Fame in 2022.
