The purpose of the RdM is to provide the operating conditions for a given construction, i.e.: - to determine whether a given structure can withstand the applied loads - once the applied forces are known, to dimension the structure, and thus check that the deformations induced by the loads are below the acceptable limits in operation. Remember that forces within solids are elastic forces (cohesive forces), that they oppose internal displacement and cancel each other out. They therefore have no influence on external static equilibrium. The value of internal forces will therefore necessarily be limited to avoid material decohesion (destruction), and this requires: - calculation of these internal forces - knowledge of acceptable material limits
