Problem 4 In the structure shown below, each of the rods BD and CE is made of brass (E = 105 GPa) and has a cross- sectional area of 200 mm². Determine the deflection of end A of the rigid member ABC caused by the 2-kN load. (Hint: 1) consider equilibrium using the free body diagram of the rigid member ABC, 2) consider compatibility between the deflections of points B and C, 3) consider force-deformation relation of rods BD and CE) DO E 2 kN 225 mm B A O 550 mm 75 mm 100 mm

Matrix Algebra for Structural analysis

Structural analysis is a process in which the effects of different loads and internal forces, acting on structures and their elements are determined. This method of analysis is effective in detecting the failure loads of the structural elements and the design can be altered before commencing the construction process, which ensures proper strength and safety of the structures.
