The study of structural analysis and design is a central subject in
civil, aeronautical, and mechanical engineering. This book presents
a modern and unified introduction to structural analysis, with a
strong emphasis on how structures actually behave. The unifying
theme is the application of energy methods, developed without the
formal mathematics of the calculus of variations. The energy
approach makes it possible to articulate the logical relationship
between equilibrium and compatibility; emphasize the unity of
structural analysis, particularly for indeterminate structures; and
identify the roles of idealization and discretization in structural
modeling. Thus, energy methods also serve as a prelude to the main
ideas behind modern computational approaches to structural analysis
and design. As an aid to upper-level undergraduate students in
mastering this material, the text includes numerous worked
examples, as well as homework problems.
