Chapters 2 to 7 are organized as described in the following. Finally, it introduces the two-dimensional finite element method and the functions for the equations of the elasticity theory. Next it demonstrates the use of these functions in beam and torsion analysis when structural topics are examined. First, it introduces many symbolic and numerical functions for computing the area, centroid, and area moment of inertia.

Full descriptions of the functions from the standard Mathematica packages are available in the manual Mathematica 4 Standard Add-on Packages, (Wolfram Media/Cambridge University Press, 1999). For further information on Mathematica, consult the standard Mathematica reference: Stephen Wolfram, The Mathematica Book, 4th ed., (Wolfram Media/Cambridge University Press, 1999). In this manual, a basic knowledge of Mathematica is assumed. For the formal definitions of the concepts and the theories underlying the functions in the Structural Mechanics package, consult the books given in the References Section. The main engineering mechanics topics covered in the Structural Mechanics package are as follows:Ĭross-sectional properties of two-dimensional shapesĪ complete set of mathematical definitions and the engineering concepts used in the Structural Mechanics package are beyond the scope of this document. Using the functionality of Structural Mechanics, it is possible to implement many useful design methodologies in the Mathematica environment. Mathematica and the functions in this package are flexible problem-solving tools in which engineers and students examine computational and mathematical issues involved in problem solving. In this way, for example, engineering students could be introduced to fundamental concepts of parametric design, which is gaining momentum in design and analysis circles.

Coupled with the seamless computational features of the Mathematica environment, Structural Mechanics provides a flexible hands-on computational environment in which to perform computational experiments without getting bogged down by the details of computer implementation.

In practice, the engineer can adopt Structural Mechanics to perform analyses of elastic structural elements along with other professional engineering analysis tools. The functions contained in Structural Mechanics are designed for professional engineers, educators, and students of engineering mechanics in mechanical, civil, and aerospace engineering.

The design of the package uses the symbolic capability of Mathematica so that the package functions can be used as an interactive engineering "handbook." While many results are given in closed form, Structural Machanics incorporates some inherently numerical techniques, such as the finite element method, by utilizing Mathematica's rich numerical facilities.

Structural Mechanics is a collection of Mathematica packages that address computational problems in analyzing elastic structural elements.
