A PHILOSOPHIC REVIEW OF STRUCTURAL MECHANICS METHODS
-
-
Abstract
The methodology of structural mechanics is reviewed. Five problems are discussed:1) the keynote of the methodology of structural mechanics, 2) features of the structural mechanics methods, 3) the dominant features of the virtual work method and the energy method, 4) the equivalent relationship between the virtual work method and the energy method, and 5) the adjoint theorem between the equilibrium matrix and the geometric matrix.
