For some types of structures, the equilibrium equations are not sufficient to determine the reactions or the internal stresses. These structures are called statically indeterminate. For the analysis of …

Structural capacity, or ultimate strength, is that property of a structural member that serves as a measure of is ability to support all potential loads without severe cracking or excessive deformations. …

Consider a body of negligible dimensions subjected to a force F. Any displacement of the body from its original position will create work. Suppose a small displacement s is …
