Abstract

In Chap. 7, we have introduced three classes of structural elements: truss members, beams, and cables. For each class, we have discussed the requirements that structural element has to meet in order to belong to a particular class. In Chap. 8, we have discussed trusses, and frames. Frames and mechanisms (Chap. 11) are built from truss members and beams.

Few things are harder to put up with than a good example
