14-6

Transcribed Image Text:**Problems 14-5/6**
**14-5.** Determine the stiffness matrix \( \mathbf{K} \) for the truss. Given:
- Cross-sectional area \( A = 0.75 \, \text{in}^2 \)
- Modulus of elasticity \( E = 29 \times 10^3 \, \text{ksi} \)
Assume all joints are pin connected.
**14-6.** Determine the vertical deflection of joint \( \mathsf{1} \) and the force in member \( 2 \) of the truss in Problem 14-5.
**Diagram Explanation:**
The diagram depicts a 2D truss structure consisting of three main inclined members forming two triangles with a vertical and horizontal bracing. The truss is supported at joints labeled \( ③ \) and \( ④ \), with members numbered from \( 1 \) to \( 6 \).
- **Points and Angles**: The points \( ①, ②, ③, \) and \( ④ \) represent joints. The horizontal members (bottom) are connected to joint \( ④ \) and slant upwards towards joint \( ① \), forming acute angles at joints \( ④ \) and \( ① \).
- **Dimensions**: The height of the triangle on the left is noted as 4 ft, and the horizontal base measures 4 ft. Joint \( ① \) is positioned 2 ft horizontally from the left-hand side.
- **Loads**: There is an upward force of 2 kips applied at joint \( ① \) in the downward direction and an inward arrow at the bottom of joint \( ④ \), suggesting reaction forces.
- **Member Forces and Directions**: Members are numbered and shown with directions of stress (compression or tension) as indicated by arrows:
- Member \( ② \) forming the upper inclined section.
- Member \( ③ \) is vertical.
- Other members form the triangular and supporting structure.
This truss is a standard example used in structural analysis to illustrate the calculation of internal member forces and joint deflections when subjected to specific loads.
