Master the tools of analytical statics with comprehensive theory and worked examples.
This volume offers a wide range of foundational and advanced topics in statics and potential theory. It covers essential methods for analyzing forces, potentials, and interactions in solids, shells, and rods, with a focus on clear guidance and practical results.
- Detailed treatment of potentials, Gauss’s and Green’s theorems, and the behavior of forces in complex bodies
- Attractors and potentials of ellipsoids, shells, and focaloids, with concrete examples
- The bending of rods, equations of equilibrium, and methods for solving structural problems
- Three‑dimensional force systems, moments, and related mathematical tools
Ideal for students and professionals tackling advanced statics, structural analysis, and applied mathematics.
