This book tackles a complex engineering problem: the analysis of statically indeterminate structures, structures with more members than are strictly necessary for stability. While traditional methods often struggle to accurately determine stresses in such structures, this book introduces a powerful tool: the principle of least work. The author traces the origins of this principle back to Castigliano's work in 1879, highlighting its practical advantages over earlier methods. Through detailed examples and calculations, the book demonstrates how the principle can be applied to analyze different types of structures, including lattice girders, trusses with multiple redundant members, and even solid beams. The author meticulously explores the application of the principle to calculating deflections in complex frameworks, proving that the commonly held assumption of neglecting the contribution of bracing bars is not always valid. Furthermore, the book examines the implications of this principle for the analysis of swing bridges and arches, showcasing how it can be used to accurately calculate reactions and bending moments. Ultimately, this book offers a comprehensive and accessible approach to understanding the principle of least work, providing engineers with a powerful tool for analyzing and designing complex structures.
