Synopsis
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.

Book Description
The study of structural analysis and design is a central subject in civil, aeronautical, and mechanical engineering. This book, a modern and unified introduction, focuses on how structures actually behave.The unifying theme is the application of energy methods, developed without the formal mathematics of the calculus of variations. Using an energy approach, book explains the relationship between equilibrium and compatibility, the unity of structural analysis, and the roles of idealization and discretization in structural modeling, and introduces the main ideas behind computational approaches to structural analysis and design.
Review
"...an excellent foundation for understanding modern computational methods of stress analysis used in aeronautical, civil, and mechanical engineering. Readers needing background in fundamental energy methods will find this an excellent 'kick-starter' for preparing finite element techniques. A very positive recommendation." Choice
