Tennessee Technological University • What is Structural Mechanics?
Tennessee Technological University A General Picture • What is mechanics? And where are we? Mechanics – the branch of physical science which deals with the state of rest or motion of bodies under the action of forces
Tennessee Technological University Big Picture Forces at rest or moving? under what conditions? Body (structure)
Where are we? Physics Calculus Algebras Rigid body Statics Dynamics Solid Mechanics Mechanics Deformable body Fluid Mechanics Mechanics of materials Structural Mechanics Elasticity Plasticity Design classes Concrete design Steel design Building design Bridges design Differential equations Matrix analysis Computer programming Numerical methods Structural Engineering in Civil Engineering
