Wiki Structural Analysis

Structural analysis is the determination of how loads affect physical structures by incorporating applied mechanics, materials science, and applied mathematics to calculate a structure's deformations, internal forces, stresses, and stability. This analysis verifies a structure's ability to withstand loads and is used in engineering design to ensure fitness for use, often replacing physical testing.

Structural analysis is the determination of the effects of loads on physical structures and their components.

Structures subject to this type of analysis include all that must withstand loads, such as buildings, bridges, vehicles, machinery, furniture, attire, soil strata, prostheses and biological tissue. Structural analysis incorporates the fields of applied mechanics, materials science and applied mathematics to compute a structure's deformations, internal forces, stresses, support reactions, accelerations, and stability. The results of the analysis are used to verify a structure's fitness for use, often saving physical tests. Structural analysis is thus a key part of theengineering design of structures.
