This book deals with kinematics and statics of rigid-body systems, lumped elasticity, variational principles, dynamics, stability and bifurcation, piece-wise linear (rigid-plastic or elasto-plastic) constitutive behavior, and geometrically nonlinear behavior. The presentation of the matter is strongly innovative: all the fundamental principles and methods, which are usually discussed for continuous media (namely, the displacement and force methods, the virtual work principle, the stationarity theorems of the total potential and complementary energies), are here illustrated for naturally discrete structures. Consequently, the fundamental problem of mechanics, which, for centenary worldwide tradition, is discussed in the context of the mathematical analysis, is here brought back to the algebra environment. Due to the strong simplifications of the calculus, the learner can focus his attention on the (complex) logical architecture of the linear and nonlinear elasticity theory (and later, of limit analysis), not being distracted by the mathematical difficulties inherent partial differential equations and boundary conditions. Moreover, he easily gains insight into the mechanical behavior of structures, which clearly emerges from the numerous examples presented.
The book is mainly devoted to undergraduate students. However, it is also meant as a reading successive to classic texts on continuous systems, useful to graduate and Ph.D. students to deepen their knowledge of general principles and methods of structural mechanics.

About the Author
Angelo Luongo is a professor (retired) of Solid and Structural Mechanics at L'Aquila University, Italy. He currently serves as an editor-in-chief of MDPI journal “CivilEng” and associate editor of Springer Journal "Nonlinear Dynamics." His research interests include linear and nonlinear dynamics, buckling and postbuckling, aeroelasticity, dynamic instability, perturbation methods, structural modeling. With Springer, he published the textbooks Stability and Bifurcation of Structures (2023) and Perturbation Methods and Nonlinear Phenomena (2024).
Achille Paolone is a professor of Structural Mechanics at Sapienza University of Rome, Italy. His research interests include structural dynamics, computational mechanics, structural identification and monitoring, seismic engineering, structural stability, and earthquake resistant structures. His extensive practical experience in structural engineering informs his teaching approach, connecting theoretical concepts to real-world applications.
Simona Di Nino holds a Ph.D. in Mathematics and Modeling and is currently an assistant professor of Solid and Structural Mechanics at the University of L'Aquila, Italy. Her research interests encompass linear and nonlinear dynamics, aeroelasticity, dynamic instability, perturbation methods, homogenization methods, masonry, and damage constitutive models. In 2023, she published the textbook Stability and Bifurcation of Structures with Springer.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to Biblios, frankfurt am main, Germany, without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
