Strength calculation

This article or the following section is not adequately provided with supporting documents ( e.g. individual evidence ). Information without sufficient evidence could be removed soon. Please help Wikipedia by researching the information and including good evidence.

Strength calculations belong to the sub-area of strength theory (within technical mechanics ) and are part of

• simple test specimens (e.g. rods),
• Beam ,
• Rod structures ,
• Trusses ,
• Plates ,
• Membranes as well
• complex mechanical constructions

carried out.

Strength calculations are intended to help identify parts of a construction that are subject to high and low stress and thus lead to the optimization of components. At the same time, they serve as computational proof of the safety of a construction. The following methods are suitable for strength calculations:

• Graphic processes (e.g. rope corner process , Cremonaplan )
• Analytical approach (e.g. Bernoulli bar , Rittersches intersection method )
• Numerical methods (e.g. finite element method (FEM))
