Features: This book is a planned teaching material for colleges and universities in the 21st century. It is divided into twelve chapters, covering main topics such as the geometric construction analysis of planar bar structures, the stress analysis of statically determinate structures, the calculation of structural displacements, the force method, the displacement method, influence lines, the matrix displacement method, dynamic calculations of structures, the ultimate load of structures, and stability calculations of structures. Each chapter is accompanied by exercises. During the writing process, the principle of "less is more" was adhered to, ensuring clear concepts, concise content, emphasis on key points, easy-to-understand explanations, and practicality. While maintaining the rigor and logic of fundamental theoretical knowledge, the book also focuses on practical applications. Outdated content, such as graphical methods and elastic center methods, has been removed, while practical content has been added, such as the direct drawing of shear force diagrams from bending moment diagrams. Additionally, the book categorizes structures and aligns them with actual engineering examples. Unlike other textbooks, this book emphasizes fundamental concepts rather than problem-solving methods and techniques, aligning with the current trend of using computational software for engineering structural calculations. This book can serve as a textbook for structural mechanics in civil engineering, bridge engineering, and water conservancy and hydropower engineering programs at colleges and universities, as well as a reference for professionals in related fields.
