  2. Structural mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_mechanics

    Advanced structural mechanics may include the effects of stability and non-linear behaviors. Mechanics of structures is a field of study within applied mechanics that investigates the behavior of structures under mechanical loads, such as bending of a beam, buckling of a column, torsion of a shaft, deflection of a thin shell, and vibration of a ...

  3. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analysis

    Structures subject to this type of analysis include all that must withstand loads, such as buildings, bridges, aircraft and ships. Structural analysis uses ideas from applied mechanics, materials science and applied mathematics to compute a structure's deformations, internal forces, stresses, support reactions, velocity, accelerations, and ...

  4. Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Journal_of_Mechanics_of...

    The Journal of Mechanics of Materials and Structures is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research on the mechanics of materials and deformable structures of all types. It was established by Charles R. Steele , who was also the first editor-in-chief .

    The McDonnell Planetarium by Gyo Obata in St Louis, Missouri, USA, a concrete shell structure The 630 foot (192 m) high, stainless-clad (type 304) Gateway Arch in St. Louis, Missouri. A truss is a structure comprising members and connection points or nodes. When members are connected at nodes and forces are applied at nodes members can act in ...

    Schemes for fully coupled fluid-structure interactions and multi-physics problems. Mathematical analysis of finite element schemes. The book "Finite Element Procedures" used as a standard reference text in academia and industry. [9] [10] [11] Bathe is widely recognized to bridge the worlds of academia and industry in computational mechanics. [12]

  7. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    The dynamic response of a structure to dynamic loads (the natural frequency of a structure) is also dependent on its stiffness. In a structure made up of multiple structural elements where the surface distributing the forces to the elements is rigid, the elements will carry loads in proportion to their relative stiffness - the stiffer an ...

  8. Energy principles in structural mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_principles_in...

    Energy principles in structural mechanics express the relationships between stresses, strains or deformations, displacements, material properties, and external effects in the form of energy or work done by internal and external forces.

  9. Structural system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_system

    Commonly used structures can be classified into five major categories, depending on the type of primary stress that may arise in the members of the structures under major design loads. However any two or more of the basic structural types described in the following may be combined in a single structure, such as a building or a bridge in order ...
