The field of structural mechanics is a branch of engineering science whose mastery is essential for the realization and maintenance of mechanical parts. It deals with the analysis of forces acting on components and investigates their effect on the operability, reliability, and safety of the technical system. Stress-strength problems are often the target of structural mechanics investigations, for example, static failure under extreme loads, crack formation under recurring fatigue loading, or the buckling of thin-walled lightweight designs.
In structural dynamics, in addition to static forces, the effects of inertia and damping are also considered. Typical questions in structural dynamics include the determination of natural frequencies, the investigation of behavior under harmonic or transient loading, and the analysis of the structural response under spectral excitation, for example, in earthquake simulations. The evaluation of shock loads is of particular importance here. Short-term dynamics, for example, analyzes the crash behavior of a component.
