Truss-One

Forty-five screens of structural analysis: section properties and principal axes, shear flow and the shear centre, the plastic section and its shape factor, axial members, plane stress and Mohr's circle, strain rosettes, elastic constants, yield criteria, thin-walled pressure vessels, beam diagrams, bending stress, transverse shear, transformed sections, combined axial and bending, deflection by standard case and by integration, trusses by joints and by sections, force diagrams, a model canvas, matrix solution of plane frames, circular torsion, non-circular and thin-walled torsion, combined bending and torsion, Euler columns with seven end conditions, the column strength curve, columns that started bent, columns loaded off centre by the secant formula, inelastic buckling by both the tangent and the reduced modulus, effective length for a column in a frame, plate buckling with its…
