Structural mechanics is an essential course for engineering disciplines, offering a comprehensive exploration of the laws of geometric construction, static and dynamic responses, stability, and ultimate load of structures. Unlike existing textbooks, it also focuses on conceptual analysis and its relevance to engineering practice, enhancing the quality and abilities of its readers. This book can serve as a textbook for undergraduates and first year graduate students on structural mechanics in the areas of civil engineering, aerospace engineering, transportation engineering, hydraulic engineering, mechanical engineering and mechanics, etc.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessor Cimian Zhu graduated in 1970 from the Department of Engineering Mathematics and Mechanics of Tsinghua University in the major of solid mechanics and in 1992 from the Department of Structural Engineering of Tongji University with a Ph.D.’s diploma in the major of structural engineering. Professor Zhu believes that development of modern structural mechanics should consist of conceptualization of structural analysis (conceptual structural analysis) and computerization of solution process (computational structural mechanics), and he is Advocate and Expert of such development.\u003cbr\u003eProfessor Zhu has been devoted himself to both theoretical research and teaching and engineering design and consulting. Before he entered the Faculty of Tongji University in 1978, he worked as Structural Engineer in the design institute of the Ministry of Mechanical Industry, and he has been active in academic research, engineering consulting and supervising, and teaching, particularly on courses.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWeiping Zhang, Ph.D., is Professor of the college of Civil Engineering and Director of Education Quality Assurance Office, Tongji University.
