Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics
The last few decades have witnessed a dramatic increase in the application of numerical computation to problems in solid and structural mechanics. In the past, our ability to formulate theory exceeded our ability to compute. The burgeoning of computational mechanics opened a pedagogical gap between traditional courses in elementary strength of materials and the finite element method that classical courses on advanced strength of materials and elasticity do not adequately fill.
With the advent of the finite element method, our ability to compute has surpassed our ability to formulate theory. In those days, solid mechanics was for virtuosos. As a result, continuum mechanics is no longer the province of the specialist.
What an engineer needs to know about mechanics has been forever changed by our capacity to compute. This book attempts to capitalize on the pedagogi- cal opportunities
