This book presents a unified theory of structural analysis, based on the principle of virtual displacements and minimal principles. The author skillfully demystifies the complex subject by highlighting the logical interconnectedness of various methods used by structural engineers. By focusing on fundamental principles rather than rote memorization, this text makes the study of structures an exciting endeavor, particularly for students of engineering and applied mechanics. Readers are guided through the derivation of key theorems and methods, including the calculation of buckling loads, which are essential for understanding structural behavior under stress. The book also delves into complementary energy and least-work methods, providing readers with a comprehensive understanding of the subject. The author's clear presentation and detailed explanations make this text suitable for both students and practicing engineers, offering a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the principles of structural analysis.
