Concept explainers
Two bars are connected as shown in the figure. Assume all joints are frictionless pin joints. At node 2, a vertical spring is connected as shown. Both bars are of length L and have the same properties: Young’s modulus = L and area of cross section = A. The spring stiffness = k.
a. Set up the stiffness matrices for the two truss elements and the spring element.
b. Assemble the stiffness matrices to form the global stiffness matrix.
c. Compute the deflections at node 2, if a force

The two members are connected by a pin at C. The dimensions are H₁ = 1.1 m, H₂ = 1.3 m, and L = 1 m. The applied force P = 11 kN acts at the midpoint of BC, and the distributed load has intensity w = 1.3 kN/m.

Body ABC is pin joint at wall A is regarded as a rigid body and is pin supported to rod BD at B. The respective dimensions are as shown in the figure. A support unit is to be connected by pin between point B and point D or point D' at the wall. a) Compare and analyze the two positions for the support unit not to fail by buckling when maximum load F is applied at C. Which position is the better choice between D and D' ? b) If load F is in opposite direction, what is the maximum load F that can be applied.

The upper left corner is supported by a pin joint, firmly attached to the wall. The upper right corner is supported by a rope. The rope is at a 30° angle from the horizontal. The pin joint is at the same height as the point where the sign attaches to the rope. The sign has a mass of 20kg. It is 2m long and the center-of- mass is 1m from the wall. a) Consider torques about the pin joint. Draw the line-of-action and lever-arm for both the tension force and the weight force. 1m c) What is the tension in the rope? mg b) What is the magnitude of the torque produced by the weight force about the pin joint? d) What are the reaction (support) forces at the pin joint?
