Yes, I know it. If the number of unknowns are greater than known static equilibrium equations, 3 for planar and 6 for space structures, then the structure is statically indeterminate and you need additional equations which are derived from load-deformation relations. After all, I am a civil...
Dear friends,
I am glad that my post causes quality technical discussions. Thank you all for your valuable responses. I will soon add some other problem related to/similar this one but about trusses. And I think it will help me to explain why I came up with this kind of a problem.
For...
Yes, you are right. But then the question arises: So, should we assume this beam as stable(after some deflection-that theoretically it can even be very very small-it comes to rest, however it cannot hold its linear initial form), or unstable( whatever the final outcome is,it shows a movement in...
Hi dear friends.I was reviewing and remembering very basic concepts of structural analysis course for my MSc entering exam since it had been 16 years after my graduate. While I was solving some problems on stability and determinacy of structures, I encountered a truss problem. While solving that...
