This comprehensive yet concise book delves into the analysis methods of lightweight engineering within the realm of beam structures' statics. It is organized into four sections, each covering essential aspects. The first section establishes a solid foundation by discussing the fundamentals of elasticity theory, encompassing plane problems and the strength criteria of isotropic materials. The second section focuses on the analytical treatment of beam structures, addressing beams subjected to bending, shear, and torsion. The third section explores innovative work and energy methods in lightweight construction, encompassing both classical approaches and modern computational techniques such as the finite element method. Lastly, the fourth section delves into advanced beam models, exploring hybrid structures, laminated and sandwich beams, shear field beams, and shear deformable beams. This book is designed to serve as a valuable resource for students enrolled in technical colleges and universities, as well as practicing engineers and researchers in the field of engineering.
