This book will examine structural mechanics from a fundamental point of view, and allow students to use logical inference and creative reasoning to solve problems versus rote memorization, which is what most textbooks in the field currently offer. It will present theory and also emphasize the relevant mathematical concepts as related to structural mechanics in each chapter. It will include problems, examples, and case studies throughout, and present simulation technique employed in structural engineering software. It will explain the Finite Element Method for elastic bodies, trusses, frames, and more, and present other modern methods of structural analysis.
Presents the material from the general (theory and fundamentals) to the particular (specific applications).
Emphasizes the relevant mathematical concepts as related to structural mechanics in each chapter.
Presents analysis of ductile structures and modern methods in analysis of stability and dynamics.
Explains the Finite Element Method for elastic bodies, trusses, frames, and more.
Includes numerous worked examples and case studies throughout.
