Abstract
The essential objective of structural analysis is the calculation of stresses and deformations of bodies. As shown in Fig. 3.1 we make a cut through the body, which is in equilibrium under external loads in the form of volume forces f i, surface tractions p i and concentrated forces F k. A resulting force Δ F is transmitted at every element Δ A of the cut.
