Understanding Structural Analysis Basics

Structural analysis is the determination of how loads affect physical structures and their components. It incorporates applied mechanics, materials science, and applied mathematics to calculate a structure's deformations, internal forces, stresses, and stability. The results of structural analysis are used to verify a structure's fitness for use and often replace physical tests.

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

theircomponents.
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 the engineering design of structures.
