This book examines the application of the principle of least work to the analysis of statically indeterminate structures. Despite neglect in English language textbooks, the subject is well-established, particularly for suspension bridges and rigid arches. The author begins with a discussion of the basic concepts of elasticity, before presenting a detailed treatment of Castigliano's method which forms the basis of the principle of least work. This principle is then applied to a wide variety of structural problems, including trusses with multiple superfluous bars, the determination of deflections and the analysis of curved beams and arches. Engineers and students will find this a valuable resource for understanding the analysis of complex structural systems and the insights it provides into the mechanics of deformable bodies.
