Excellent contribution and code @DanielGMorenaFhecor. For me some minor adjustments and is ready for merge.

Are we sure that using eq. 8.119 we have the same limits for theta as using eqs. 8.115-8.118?

That is a good question! Mmm... If i perform the calculations in a simple Excel Worksheet I am getting the following values:
| Angle | Rads | Cotg | Nu |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 | 0.349 | 2.747 | 0.36 |
| 30 | 0.524 | 1.732 | 0.56 |
| 40 | 0.698 | 1.192 | 0.70 |
| 60 | 1.047 | 0.577 | 0.85 |
| 90 | 1.571 | 0.000 | 0.90 |
Values from 8.199 are more or less similar to values from Eq. 8.115-8.118, but limits are not identical.
Would you suggets implementing both approaches in the codebase?

Thanks for the comment. I agree with your observation, I see equations 8.115-8.118 as alternative formulation to 8.119.
We can either implement the two approaches or leave only the 8.119 approach. Either way, I am not sure that equation 8.119 is not valid for an angle lower than 20 degrees.

Thank you very much Diego for your comments! I already fixed the typos. I have just one question regarding the use of the equations 8.115-8.118 and 8.119. Please, refer to the comment for further explanation. 👍 |

I agree with your comment. The only thing, I am not sure that theta must be between 20 and 90 when using 8.119. For how it is written the code I think the equation is valid also for angles lower than 20° maybe?
Anyhow excellent, in my opinion it can be merged in dev!

I have been considering equation 8.119 and its implications. It seems logical to allow for values lower than 20°, especially when trying to establish an analogous relationship with equation 8.121: To achieve this, I have adapted the method for computing ν as a function of the angle theta, allowing values between 0° and 90°. An important modification includes incorporating a small epsilon to handle cases where |

Excellent contribution @DanielGMorenaFhecor. I have merged dev, added a couple of changes to the docstrings, and added the functions to the API docs. Could you please add tests that cover the lines that are not yet covered in _section_8_5_strut_and_ties.py?
