Features: Structural Mechanics is edited by the Structural Mechanics Teaching and Research Group of Tsinghua University, with Long Yujiao and Bao Shihua as chief editors. The second edition of Structural Mechanics (for five-year programs) deepens the content and broadens the scope of knowledge. It can serve as a textbook for five-year programs in civil engineering, water conservancy, and road and bridge engineering, as well as a reference book for other professional students, graduate students, teachers, and related engineering technicians. Structural Mechanics consists of thirteen chapters, divided into two volumes. The first volume discusses the basic calculation methods for statically determinate and statically 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, totaling eight chapters. The second edition broadens the coverage and adds some distinctive methods 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 Analysis of Structures, Stability Analysis of Structures, Plastic Analysis of Structures, and Limit Load Analysis, totaling five chapters. The second edition has undergone significant revisions and updates. Structural Mechanics is rich in content, comprehensive, and detailed, with certain distinctive features. The second volume includes a CD-ROM of the Structural Mechanics Solver software for Windows-based computer-aided analysis and calculation, which can analyze and compute almost all structural mechanics problems in Structural Mechanics.
