Structural analysis is a field of study that deals with the study of structures to determine their strength and stability. There are several synonyms for structural analysis, including: structural engineering, structural design, structural mechanics, structural dynamics, and structural optimization. Structured engineering focuses on the design and analysis of structures, while structural mechanics deals with the motion and deformation of structures under loads. Structural dynamics is the study of the behavior of structures under dynamic loads, while structural optimization is the process of finding the optimal design of a structure to meet specified criteria. All of these fields are essential for ensuring the safety and stability of structures in building design and construction.
