About this title

Synopsis

Engineering mechanics involves the development of mathematical models of the physical world. Statics addresses the forces acting on and in mechanical objects and systems. Statics with MATLABŪ  develops an understanding of the mechanical behavior of complex engineering structures and components using MATLABŪ  to execute numerical calculations and to facilitate analytical calculations.

 

MATLABŪ is presented and introduced as a highly convenient tool to solve problems for theory and applications in statics. Included are example problems to demonstrate the MATLABŪ syntax and to also introduce specific functions dealing with statics. These explanations are reinforced through figures generated with MATLABŪ and the extra material available online which includes the special functions described.

This detailed introduction and application of MATLABŪ to the field of statics makes Statics with MATLABŪ a useful tool for instruction as well as self study,  highlighting the use of symbolic MATLABŪ for both theory and applications to find analytical and numerical solutions
