Features: Computational Structural Mechanics is one of the provincial planning textbooks for higher education institutions in Anhui Province, part of the series textbooks for the Civil Engineering major. Its main contents include:
Introduction (basic concepts of the finite element method, element location vector, and programming design);
Brief introduction to functional principles;
Brief introduction to coordinate transformation;
Establishment and programming design of the stiffness matrix for general beam elements;
Formation and programming design of the structural stiffness matrix;
Formation and programming design of the load vector;
Elimination decomposition method and programming design for solving systems of linear algebraic equations;
Calculation and programming design of internal forces and reactions in structures;
Practical structural analysis (main techniques, implementation methods, and programming design);
Brief introduction to eigenvalue problems in structural analysis;
Structural dynamic analysis and programming design;
Structural stability analysis and programming design;
Brief introduction and programming design of plane problems in elasticity.
In terms of programming design, it adopts a "snowball" approach, starting from simple to complex, with content progressing systematically. The modular superiority of FORTRAN programming is fully utilized, making it easy to learn and master. The book provides numerous program examples, offering high reference value for programming design and computer exercises. This book is a teaching text for civil engineering majors (the content after eigenvalue analysis of structures can be optionally selected), serving as a teaching reference for majors in mechanics, structures, and related fields, as well as a reference for engineering technicians.
