About

Izabela Major is a structural engineering researcher whose work centers on the computational analysis and design of steel and aluminum structures, with a particular focus on finite element method (FEM) applications. Her research spans key areas including truss systems, footbridge dynamics, and computer-aided design validation. Major's most cited work, "Analysis of a Selected Node of a Truss Made of Cold-rolled Sections Based on the Finite Element Method" (2019, 4 citations), provides critical comparative analysis of displacements and reduced stresses using Autodesk ROBOT and ANSYS software, offering practical insights for structural optimization. Her 2014 study "Computer Aided Design – Comparative Analysis of Widely Available Software with Analytical Method" (3 citations) systematically evaluates popular beam design programs including ADINA and Robot Structural Analysis against analytical methods, establishing benchmarks for software reliability. In "Dynamic Numerical Analysis of Steel Footbridge" (2017, 3 citations), she examines arched footbridge designs in both steel and aluminum variants, addressing crucial comfort criteria for pedestrian structures. While her citation counts reflect an emerging career, Major's contributions are notable for bridging theoretical FEM principles with practical software applications, providing engineers with validated computational approaches for structural design and analysis.
