Theoretical Mechanics . Statistics of metal structures" by the authors B. N. Shinkin and Yu. A. Polyakova is an indispensable textbook and practical guide for engineers, students of technical specialties and anyone interested in modern aspects of static analysis of metal structures. This book is a deep and comprehensive study of the theoretical foundations of static equilibrium, revealing to the reader the complex mechanical processes that underlie the design and operation of metal structures. The book focuses on the fundamental principles of static mechanics applied to real engineering problems. The authors masterfully analyze such important topics as the balance and stability of metal structures, methods for determining internal forces and moments, as well as the features of calculating various types of metal structures - from simple frames and beams to complex spatial systems. A special place is given to practical aspects, which makes the book a valuable manual for practicing engineers involved in the design, calculation and control of metal structures in construction, mechanical engineering and other technical fields. Presentation Style B. N. Shinkin and Yu. A. Polyakova is distinguished by clarity and accuracy, which makes it easy to assimilate even the most complex concepts. The author’s approach combines theoretical rigor with practical examples, which helps the reader not only to understand the basic principles, but also to apply them in real engineering tasks. The book discusses in detail the methods of analysis and calculation, as well as modern standards and regulations, which makes it relevant and useful for professionals seeking to meet the high requirements of modern construction and industry. This book is especially suitable for students of technical universities studying theoretical mechanics and design of metal structures, as well as design engineers, designers and designers who want to deepen their knowledge and improve their skills. It can be recommended both for self-study and as part of training courses, as it is structured to provide a systematic understanding of the subject and the development of practical skills. The topics raised in the book cover a wide range of issues related to the statics of metal structures. Particular attention is paid to load analysis, calculation of resistance of materials and structural elements, as well as issues of stability and deformability.
