Equilibrium Equations We have examined 2-dimensional systems and analyzed their equilibrium conditions using the following: The equilibrium conditions we used may be expressed as: Lecture 25
Equilibrium Equations For 3-dimensional systems, we use the same equilibrium equations, except we write them in vector form: The moment equation may also be written as: Where the couple C is the sum of all applied couples on the body Lecture 25
Equilibrium Equations If there are more than 6 unknown forces or couples, the problem is statically indeterminate. Lecture 25
Solving Equilibrium Equations Draw a proper free body diagram Write each force and couple as a vector Draw position vectors from the origin to the line of action of each force Write the vector equations of static equilibrium – 6 equations, 6 unknowns Lecture 25
Statically Indeterminate Reactions Underconstrained system • Cannot maintain equilibrium Overconstrained systems • More unknown forces than equations Lecture 25
