Essays in the History of the Theory of Structures (tb)

Santiago Huerta Fernández

En el siglo XX el profesor Jacques Heyman llevó a cabo importantes teorías que ayudaron a iluminar el complejo campo de la teoría estructural. El presente conjunto de ensayos se centra en la importancia de los historiadores del campo de las estructuras que, apoyados por los avances de los potentes programas informáticos que ayudan a determinar el estado de una gran variedad de estructuras, son fundamentales en el ámbito de la teoría estructural.
