Spatially Curved Beam Structures - Volume 1: (Euler-Bernoulli) TheorySpringer
Walkowiak, M., Reinicke, U., Oktober 2025, Publisher: Springer Wiesbaden
This extremely compact textbook provides an in-depth understanding of the complex mechanical relationships in spatially curved beam structures, going beyond the elementary models of straight beams. It is therefore aimed at advanced engineering students who are already familiar with the fundamental principles of statics and strength of materials, including the determination of internal force distributions as well as stress and deformation analysis.
