Annotations:
Summing all forces and find the eqivelent force required for the same effects
material must behave in a liner elastic manner and the geometry of the structure must not change significantly
The total displacement or internal loadings (stress) at a point in a
structure subjected to several external loadings can be determined
by adding together the displacements or internal loadings (stress)
caused by each of the external loads acting separately.

Unstable if reactions are concurent or parellell or
components form a collapseble mechanisium
Statically determinate trusses
A truss is a structure comprised
of slender members joined
together at there end points
^^Compound truss^^
^^Simple truss^^
Common
uses
<<Roofing
Bridges>>
Assumptions
The members are joined by
smooth pins and members
are conccurent at a point
All loading as applied at the joints
All members act with axial force
^^Compression ^^
^^Tension ^^
Determinacy
(b+r=2j)=determenent
(b+r>2j)=indeterminate
Degree of
indeterminacy =
(b+r)=2j
j=joints r=external
reactions
b=number of bars
Stability
(b+r)<2j = internally
unstable
Will collapse as
there are not
enough bars or
reactions to
constrain the joints
Externally unstable
^^Parallel external
forces^^
^^Conccurent
external forces^^
Method of joints
Methord
separate each joint out of the frame
and draw in arows to show the forces
that use trig to resolve forces to keep
the point in eqilibrium repeat for each
joint until all required forces are found
keep sign convention consistant for all
forces and signs will work out
Other notes
Assume truss is in equilibrium
Assume all unknown forces to
be in tension or compression for
signs to work out
Some members can be
zero and carry no force but
are required for stability
Method of sections
Metord
Cut the truss through the required members
and treat each part as a separate objects in
equilibrium treating the cut member forces
as external forces apply the equilibrium
equations to find the forces required
Befoe a structural member can be
proportioned the forces and moments in each
member need to be known
This can be
done at any
point using
the method
of sections

Diagrams
(dV/dx) = W(x)
Slope of the shear diagram is equal to the intensity of the distributed load
(dM/dx) = V
Slope of moment diagram is equal to the intensity of the shear
(delta)V = Inter(
W(x) dx)
Change in shear over a length is equal to the area under the loading

(delta)M = Inter(

Change in bending moment over a length is equal to the area under the

Settlement
Deflections need to be limited to avoid
breaking connected brittle materials
Beam deflection mainly from
internal bending
Truss deflections mainly from internal axial forces
Deflection diagrams
Positive moment = Upward bend
Negative moment = Downward bend
If the shape of the moment diagram is known an
elastic curve can be constructed and visa versa

Principle of conservation of energy
External work
Force
dUe = F dx
Force applied gradually
Ue = 0.5 P (delta)
Force already applyed
Ue' = P (delta)'
Moment
dUe = M d(theta)
Force applied
gradually
Ue + 0.5 M (theta)
Moments
already applied
Ue' = M (theta)'
Strain energy
Axial force
Ui = (N^2L)/(2AE)
Work done
gradually will be
converted to
strain energy and
stored in the bar
Bending
Ui = Inter(o->L)
((M^2dx)/(2EI))
Load applied gradually
causes a moment
leading to a rotation
Principle of
virtual work
External virtual work
1.(delta)
Internal virtual work
u.dL
First apply virtual load to
find real displacement by
proportions
Works for loads
and moments,
beams and
trusses.
Loads
1.(delta)=Sum(u.dL)
Moments
1.(theta)=Sum(u(theta).dL)
Trusses
1.(delta)=Sum((nNL)/(AE))
Use a table with
columns for:
member, n, N, L, nNL.
For each member
work out the values
sum the nNL column
and devide by the A
and E values whith
should be given
Beams
Forces
1.(delta)=Inter(0->L)(mM/EI)dx
Moments
1.(theta)=Inter(0->L)(m(theta)M/EI)dx
Tables can be used for
Inter(0->L)(m(x)m'(x)dx)
when the shapes are
known
Castigliano's
Theorem
The external work is a function of
external loads and if the force is
increased by a differential amount
the new strain also increases and
the increase is not effected by the
order of the applied loads
(delta)j = (lDelta)Ui/(ldelta)Pj)
So for a truss
(delta) =
Sum(N((ldelta)N/(ldelta)P)(L/AE))
Use a table with columns: member, N,
(ldelta)N/(ldelta)P, N(P=0), L and
N((ldelta)N/(ldelta)P)L. Work out the
values for each column for each
member and then sum the final column
and devide by the given A and E values
Statically
indeterminent
When the number of unknown reactions
or internal forces exceeds the number of
equilibrium equations avalable
Advantages
Maximum stress and deflection is genrally
smallered than statically determinate structures
Tendency to redistribute loads to redundant
supports when there is fault or overloading
Disadvantages
Redundant supports can cause differential displacements
that introduce internal stress to the structure

theorem -

The displacement and rotation at
point B on a structure due to a unit
load acting on it at point A is the
same as the displacement and
