Chapter 6: Analysis of Structures • The knowledge of internal forces is a fundamental requirement for true design • The Structural elements are: • Trusses • Frames • Machines Lecture 15
Trusses Composed of slender straight pieces connected together by frictionless pins where all the loads (no moments) are applied. Each member will act as a two-force member (either in tension or compression). All the forces acting on a truss member are axial. Lecture 15
Frames Are designed to support, prevent or transmit loads (forces, no moments). At least one member is not a two-force member. Machines Are designed to transmit force, motion or energy (forces and moments). Will always have at least one member with multiple forces. Lecture 15
Planar Trusses If the planar truss (2-D) is statically determinant, then the number of joints is related to the number of reactions and internal members by : 2j = m + r j = number of joints m = number of internal members r = number of reactions Lecture 15
