Within all assumption made on these theories, ... did you think upon your academic and general point of view.. that it will match all cases, .. without no more assumptions...?
As I see, the skyscrapers, bridges, towers, ....etc stand, so I certainly trust the theories of structural analysis.
Must of theories of structural analysis are based on analytical approaches to represent the behavior of the materials,assumptions,and checking for range of the validity of such methods.some of there methods depend on linear behavior,some based on nonlinear behavior,others are developed to represent more complex material behavior.thus, the degree of confidence on analytical methods is good.
It will not match all the cases because it depends to assumptions as you mensioned.
It depends on what you are looking for. In my opinion, you are partially right on mentioning the fact that more assumptions are possible, but for sure on the other side, we can state that SA is a valid support for scientists. It helps you to share knowledge and to adopt a standard procedure to observe and comment facts.
Indeed, SA is reliable when all the factors are taken into consideration while performing a proper analysis. But, last words on the matter belongs to environmental conditions and conditions of use in real life.
I have the different opinion. The theories may be trusted based on experimental verification, validity of assumptions in the theory, relevance of the final results etc.
I support the answer by Dr. Antonino.
Structural analysis is valuable in every aspect but lacking in dentistry
For complex restorations , for fixed prosthesis and splinting
Yes,we do not have choice, at the most we can compare results using different theories
