Abstract
The application of the Constructal Design method in Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics areas is an already consecrated
approach to geometrically evaluate these flow engineering systems. However, this approach in Mechanics of Materials realm is
not yet widely used, since one can find only few publications about it in literature. The Constructal Design is based on the
Constructal Law, a physical law that explains the universal phenomenon of evolution of any finite size flow system. Therefore, the
main goal here is to show that the Constructal Design can also be used in dedicated Structural Engineering problems as an
effective method for geometric evaluation. The obtained results prove the Constructal Design applicability definitively in
Mechanics of Materials.
