Structural Mechanics in Lightweight Engineering

More about the book

Focusing on lightweight engineering, this book offers a structured analysis of beam structures through four detailed sections. It begins with fundamental concepts of elasticity theory and strength criteria for isotropic materials. The second section covers the statics of beams under various forces. The third explores work and energy methods, including classical and modern computational techniques like the finite element method. The final section examines advanced beam models, including hybrid and laminated structures, catering to students, engineers, and researchers alike.
