Structural Mechanics in Lightweight Engineering

More about the book

Focusing on lightweight engineering, the book is structured into four sections that cover fundamental elasticity theory, statics of beam structures, work and energy methods, and advanced beam models. It begins with basic concepts and strength criteria for isotropic materials, then explores bending, shear, and torsion in beams. The third section discusses classical and modern computational methods, including the finite element method. The final section delves into hybrid structures and various beam types, making it suitable for students and professionals in engineering.
