The aim of the present work is two fold. In, one hand it shows to mathematicians how the apparently pure mathematical concepts can be applied to the efficient solution of problems in structural mechanics. In the other hand it illustrates to engineers the important role of
mathematical concepts for the solution of engineering problems.
In this paper a number of applications of graph theory in structural mechanics are presented. These applications simplify the analysis of structures and make their optimal analysis feasible. For each case, the main problem is stated and then the formulation together with illustrative examples is presented.
