{"product_id":"force-systems-aldo-maceri-9798870277981","title":"Force Systems","description":"The \u003ci\u003eTheory of Structures\u003c\/i\u003e is the basic discipline for the sizing and verification of the structural safety of all \u003ci\u003eEngineering Buildings\u003c\/i\u003e. It consists of two primary parts: the \u003ci\u003eTheory of elasticity\u003c\/i\u003e and the \u003ci\u003eTheory of structures\u003c\/i\u003e. To these we must add a mention of a third section: the \u003ci\u003eStability of equilibrium\u003c\/i\u003e, which is such a frequent, dangerous and complex phenomenon that it requires even a brief mention of anticipation. They are largely \u003ci\u003eMathematical Theories\u003c\/i\u003e that simulate, in a practically perfect way, the behavior of solid bodies under the hypothesis of linear elasticity and small deformations, a fully satisfactory hypothesis on a technical level. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this treatise, which reflects the numerous courses in \u003ci\u003eConstructions Science\u003c\/i\u003e held by \u003ci\u003eAldo Maceri\u003c\/i\u003e at the \"\u003ci\u003eLa Sapienza\u003c\/i\u003e\" and \"\u003ci\u003eRoma Tre\u003c\/i\u003e\" \u003ci\u003eUniversities of Rome\u003c\/i\u003e, great emphasis is given to the \u003ci\u003edisplacement method\u003c\/i\u003e, on which the automatic calculation of structures is based, and ample space is also given to traditional structural calculation methods (\u003ci\u003econgruence, principle of virtual works, graphic methods\u003c\/i\u003e), which are still very important for a full understanding of the problem. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn composing this treatise, Aldo Maceri has had the constant commitment to achieve maximum clarity and has sacrificed more than one brilliant discussion to it. He carried out the discussion in a classical way, but in the light of the modern \u003ci\u003eMathematical Theory of Elasticity\u003c\/i\u003e and with more accentuated emphasis on the connections with \u003ci\u003eThermodynamics\u003c\/i\u003e. The exhibition is constantly accompanied by numerous examples of calculations, of varying complexity, all carried out in full and in detail. To read this treatise, the classical notions of \u003ci\u003eMathematical Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003ePhysics\u003c\/i\u003e taught in university \u003ci\u003eEngineering\u003c\/i\u003e courses are sufficient as prerequisites. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn chapter 1 (\u003ci\u003eForce Systems\u003c\/i\u003e) the definitions of are given, in the three-dimensional case, of\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eforce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emoment of a force with respect to a point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emoment of a force with respect to a straight line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esystem of forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eresultant of a system of forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eresultant moment of a system of forces with respect to a point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eresultant moment of a system of forces with respect to a straight line\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecentral axis of a system of forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecoplanar force systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esystems of parallel forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eand, in the two-dimensional case, of\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eforce\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003emoment of a force with respect to a point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esystem of forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eresultant of a system of forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eresultant moment of a system of forces with respect to a point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecentral axis of a system of forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecoplanar force systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003esystems of parallel forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ecenter of a system of forces\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003efunicular polygon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003eaccompanying everything with numerous calculation examples of varying complexity.
