Dieses Buch folgt der klassischen Gliederung der Technischen Mechanik, wie sie an Fachhochschulen und Universitäten in Deutschland gelehrt wird, und widmet sich der Statik, d.h. der Betrachtung von Körpern in Ruhe unter Kräften. Ziel des Buches ist es, den Studierenden eine anschauliche Einführung in die Statik zu geben und sie in die Lage zu versetzen, ingenieurtechnische Probleme selbständig zu formulieren und zu lösen. Zu diesem Zweck bietet das Buch eine Reihe von Beispielen. Das Buch wendet sich an Studierende an Fachhochschulen und Universitäten des Maschinenbaus, des Bauingenieurwesens, der Mechanik und aller anderen Studiengänge, in denen die Statik eine Rolle spielt.
About the author
Univ.-Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Christian Mittelstedt studied civil engineering at the University of Wuppertal, where he graduated in 1999 with a degree in engineering (Dipl.-Ing.). In 2005, he earned his doctorate (Dr.-Ing.) from the University of Siegen with a dissertation on stress concentration problems in composite laminates. Starting in 2006, he worked in the German aerospace industry as a research engineer and, from 2011, as a technical director in the field of structural analysis. He completed his habilitation in 2012 with a thesis on the stability of thin-walled fiber-reinforced lightweight structures. He is the author and co-author of more than 200 scientific publications, which have appeared in international journals, conference proceedings, and officially recognized engineering handbooks. He is also the author of numerous textbooks. Since August 2016, he has been head of the department "Lightweight Design and Structural Mechanics" in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Darmstadt.
