Prof. Dr. Peter Jan Pahl
TechnischeUniversität Berlin
Berlin, Germany
Biography
Peter Jan Pahl is Professor Emeritus at the TechnischeUniversität Berlin and has held the Chair for Theoretical Methods in Civil Engineering from 1969 to 2005. He graduated as B.Eng. from the Stellenbosch University in 1960 and in 1964 was awarded the Sc.D. degree by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where heserved as Assistant and Associate Professor until 1969.
Professor Pahl led the development of Bauinformatik in Germany, and thus contributed to the modern digital approach in engineering.

Nonlinearity in Structural Engineering
Abstract
Engineers favor linear systems, whose output is proportional to their input. This attitude contrasts with nature, where most systems are nonlinear. The consequence of the discrepancy between engineering attitude and physical reality is that engineering education favors linear theories, whereas many of the phenomena which limit the serviceability and safety of engineering products result from nonlinear behavior. Because linear behavior is so much simpler to formulate than nonlinear behavior, and because linear solutions are so much simpler to determine than nonlinear solutions, concentration on linearity seems to contribute to efficient education. The question is, however, whether engineers are prepared adequately through their studies to deal with problems that nonlinearity in nature inevitably poses, and with which they must deal as part of their responsibilities in engineering practice.
Structural engineering is a discipline where traditional education emphasizes linear models, whereas serious problems in practice are the consequence of nonlinearity. Leonard Euler illuminated this point in 1757, when he discovered the buckling of columns under axial load, which has been the cause of dramatic failures of structures. Some of the main differences in the theories and methods for the linear and nonlinear analysis of space frames and space trusses, and the research and teaching suited for the nonlinear phenomena, are presented in the lecture. The topics covered include load paths, incremental solutions, singular points and load path continuation.
