Grundlagen der Statik und Dyanamik (Basics of statics and dyanamics)

Topic

The task of static calculation is motivated and concretized. From theoretical considerations the basic elements of static systems are developed and combined. Furthermore classical procedures for statics and dynamics are discussed and deepened on the basis examples. In addition to the understanding of the subject, the intuitive procedure for solving complex problems is also taught. The considerations on dynamics focus on a thorough introduction, which is then successively expanded.
