Mechanical Structures

Mechanical structures refer to engineered systems designed to support loads and perform specific functions, often found in buildings, bridges, and machinery. They are made from materials like steel and concrete, and their design involves analyzing forces, stresses, and stability to ensure safety and durability. Examples include trusses, beams, and shells, each shaped to handle specific stresses and environmental conditions. Understanding these structures helps ensure they can withstand various forces, such as weight, wind, and earthquakes, ultimately supporting daily human activities and infrastructure.
