全てのものには構造があり、構造を通し一つひとつのパーツが組み合わって全体を成し、物体としての機能を持つことができます。原子や宇宙など、自然界の至る所に存在するほか、人工物に目を向ければ、建設、交通、製造、航空宇宙科学と密接に関係します。ゴールデンゲートブリッジやジャンボジェットなど、具体例を通して読者を構造工学の世界に誘います。
 

  • Looks at what structural engineering is and how it fits into other branches of engineering
  • Examines the close relationship between architectural and structural form
  • Explores how structures work including issues such as safety and logistics
  • Considers its affects on the material world around us
  • Includes a number of different structures from civil, mechanical, aeronautical, and aerospace engineering

 
Have you ever wondered how it's possible to build a skyscraper, a big bridge, a jumbo jet, or a cruise liner? 
 
Everything has structure. Structure is the difference between a random pile of components and a fully functional object. Through structure the parts connect to make the whole. Natural structures vary from the very smallest part of an atom to the entire cosmology of the universe. Man-made structures include buildings, bridges, dams, ships, aeroplanes, rockets, trains, cars and fair-ground rides and all forms of artefacts, even large artistic sculptures. The wide range of different industries in which structural engineers work includes construction, transport, manufacturing, and aerospace. 
 
In this Very Short Introduction, David Blockley explores, in non-technical language, what structural engineering is all about, including examples ranging from the Shard in London and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco to jumbo jets like the A380 and the Queen Elizabeth cruise liner. 

目次:

著者について: 

David Blockley is an engineer and an academic scientist. He has been Head of the Department of Civil Engineering and Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Bristol. He is a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering, the Institution of Civil Engineers, the Institution of Structural Engineers, and the Royal Society of Arts. He has written four other books including The Penguin Dictionary of Civil Engineering (2005) and Bridges:The science and art of the world's most inspiring structures (2011).

"There are many books on science for the general reader, but far fewer such books on engineering. This short introduction to structural engineering contributes to the latter. It is evident that the book's production required a vast knowledge and deep insight into the subject, coupled with a great deal of effort and indubitable ability and vision." - Tianjian Ji, The Structural Engineer
