Description

Structural Mechanics: Modelling and Analysis of Frames and Trusses is a textbook covering the fundamental theory of structural mechanics and the modelling and analysis of frame and truss structures. Based on the finite element method, it makes the methodology suitable for computer simulations and provides students with the tools for their own computational modelling and numerical exploration of frames and trusses. It presents methods for assembling elements into complex load bearing structures, and also addresses other areas of applied mechanics, including thermal conduction and electrical flow. Structural Mechanics: Modelling and Analysis of Frames and Trusses includes exercises and solutions, and is an ideal textbook for undergraduate courses on structural mechanics and analysis.
