Solutions to Problems in Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics
A significant part of the book Fundamentals of Structural Mechanicslives in the problems at the back of each chapter. No student can hope to master the material covered in the book without solving at least some of these problems. An instructor who uses the book as a text for a course on structural mechanics may want to use these problems as a source of examples to illuminate points in the text or as a source of homework problems for the student to work out. This manual should relieve some of the burden of preparation of course materials.
This manual provides detailed solutions to almost all of the 302 problems in Fundamentals of Structural Mechanics 2e. The style in which the solutions are presented is similar to the examples presented in the book, with narrative to help get from one step to the next as well as some discussion of the results. The notation agrees with that used in the book.
In solving the problems it became quite apparent that a program like MATHEMATICAT is indispensable in carrying out some of the more tedious computations. For those problems that we used MATHEMATICAT we have provided a listing of the script. Most of these are fairly short, but might be useful to someone who is not very familiar with MATHEMATICAT.
The problems in Chapter 12, in almost every case, involve modifying the programs presented in the book. When I revised the book for the second edition I converted all of the programs from FORTRAN to MATLAB. However, I have not found time to change the problem solutions.
Therefore, those are still in FORTRAN. I have included the FORTRAN versions from the first edition of the book at the back so that you can follow the solutions presented.
