Features: This book is the second edition of "Structural Mechanics" (for five-year programs) compiled by the Department of Structural Mechanics at Tsinghua University, edited by Long Yujiu and Bao Shihua. The second edition deepens the content and broadens the scope of knowledge, serving as a textbook for five-year programs in civil engineering, water conservancy, and road and bridge engineering, as well as a reference book for students, postgraduates, teachers, and related engineering technicians. The book is divided into two volumes, with a total of thirteen chapters. The first volume discusses the basic calculation methods for statically determinate and indeterminate structures, including: Introduction and Construction Analysis, Analysis of Statically Determinate Structures, Influence Lines of Statically Determinate Structures, Calculation of Structural Displacements, Method of Forces, Displacement Method, Approximate Methods, and Computational Schemes and Methods of Structures, comprising eight chapters. The second edition broadens the scope and adds some distinctive solutions to meet the needs of various disciplines and deeper studies. The second volume discusses energy methods, matrix methods, and several special topics, including: Energy Principles, Structural Matrix Analysis (with computational programs and flowcharts for plane rigid frames), Dynamic Calculations of Structures, Stability Calculations of Structures, Plastic Analysis and Limit Load of Structures, comprising five chapters. The second edition has undergone significant revisions and updates.
The book is rich in content, comprehensive, and detailed, with certain distinctive features. The second volume of the book includes a CD-ROM of the computer-aided analysis and calculation software "Structural Mechanics Solver" for the Windows environment, which can analyze and calculate almost all structural mechanics problems in the book.
