Topics covered include: analysis of co-planar forces, moments and couples in equilibrium; applications to typical structural systems in buildings; trusses; behavior of structural materials in tension, ...

THIS volume finishes Dr. Routh's work on the subject of analytical statics, the first volume of which was reviewed in NATURE, June 16, 1892. It contains, in three long Sections or Books, the ...

Description The application of Newton's Laws to engineering problems in statics. The free-body diagram method is emphasized. Topics include vector algebra, force, moment of force, couples, static ...

Application of mechanics to the study of static equilibrium of rigid and elastic bodies. Topics includes composition and resolution of forces; moments and couples; equivalent force systems; free-body ...

Describing the Comparative Statics Wizard The Comparative Statics Wizard is a Microsoft Excel add-in that uses Excel's Solver to repeatedly recalculate an optimal or equilibrium solution. Results are ...

This paper analyzes monotone comparative statics predictions in several classes of stochastic optimization problems. The main results characterize necessary and sufficient conditions for comparative ...

This paper develops the comparative statics properties of a contest encountered in patent races and rent-seeking games. I show that symmetric equilibrium expenditure and profit per player decrease ...
