patent development of structural engineering
1452-1519 Leonardo da Vinci made a variety of
contributions in geometry and create a new bridge design and will be realized
in the 21st century .
1638 : Galileo Galilei published the book " Two New
Sciences " in which he conducted an inspection of the failure of the
simple structure
1660 : published by Robert Hooke's Law Hooke
1687 : Isaac Newton published " Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica " which contains Newton 's laws of motion
1750 : Euler - Bernoulli beam equation
1700-1782 : Daniel Bernoulli introduced the principle of virtual work
1707-1783 : Leonhard Euler developed the theory of bending ( buckling ) column
1826 : Claude - Louis Navier published a treatise on the
elastic properties of the structure
1873 : Carlo Alberto Castigliano presented in his
dissertation , " intorno elastici ai sistemi " , which contains his
theory to calculate the displacement as partial derivative of voltage energy
1936 : Publication of the Hardy Cross moment distribution
method is then known as a form of relaxation methods can be applied to problems
in the structure of the pipeline
1941 : Alexander Hrennikoff put his thesis at Massachusetts
Institute of Technology on the subject of elasticity of discretized lattice
fields using the model framework ( lattice framework )
1942 : Richard Courant divide the modeling domain into
finite subregions ( finite subregions )
1956 : The work of J. Turner, R. W. Clough , H. C. Martin ,
and L. J. Topp 's entitled " Stiffness and deflection of Complex
Structures " ( stiffness and deflection of complex structures ) introduced
the finite element method is currently used extensively
