Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a modern two-semester course in Structural Mechanics and Analysis. Designed to better prepare students for advanced studies in structural mechanics, this text focuses on the fundamental principles of mechanics and the basic assumptions that are the heart of the linear theory of structures. It explores the important classical methods for the analysis of statically determinate and statically indeterminate structures, and presents a uniquely different mode of reasoning and derivation of the virtual work method for calculating small displacements of structures.
