Abstract
Symmetry is a common attribute of both natural and engineering structures. Despite this, the application of symmetry arguments to some of the basic concepts of structural mechanics is still a novelty. This paper shows some of the insights into structural mechanics that can be obtained through careful symmetry arguments, and will show how these can provide a key to understanding the paradoxical behaviour of some symmetric structures.
