Description
Summary:Engineering mechanics involves the development of mathematical models of the physical world. Statics addresses the forces acting on and in mechanical objects and systems. Statics with MATLABʼ develops an understanding of the mechanical behavior of complex engineering structures and components using MATLABʼ to execute numerical calculations and to facilitate analytical calculations. MATLABʼ is presented and introduced as a highly convenient tool to solve problems for theory and applications in statics. Included are example problems to demonstrate the MATLABʼ syntax and to also introduce specific functions dealing with statics. These explanations are reinforced through figures generated with MATLABʼ and the extra material available online which includes the special functions described. This detailed introduction and application of MATLABʼ to the field of statics makes Statics with MATLABʼ a useful tool for instruction as well as self study, highlighting the use of symbolic MATLABʼ for both theory and applications to find analytical and numerical solutions
