Publisher's Synopsis
This book covers the fundamental principles of solid mechanics, focusing on the mechanical behavior of solids in two and three dimensions under various types of loads. The solids are defined in the Cartesian coordinate system and may have specific shapes and constraints.Techniques, including stress methods and displacement methods, for solving solid mechanics problems are explained in detail, formulated, and demonstrated with numerous examples and illustrations. Python is used to derive formulations, find solutions symbolically or numerically, and plot the results graphically.Written in Jupyter notebook format, this useful reference text offers a unified environment for theory description, code execution, and formulation, for easy reading and practicing.
