Explanation Given information: The cross-sectional area of each A992 steel member has A = 3 in . 2 Method adopted: Castigliano’s theorem to determine displacement and Method of Joints to determine the force in the member. Assumptions: Consider that the state of member as tension where the force is pulling the member and as compression where the force is pushing the member. Consider that the force indicating right side as positive and left side as negative in horizontal components of forces. Consider that the force indicating upward as positive and downward as negative in vertical components of forces. Consider clockwise moment as negative and anti-clock wise moment as positive wherever applicable. Consideration: The Young’s modulus or modulus of elasticity of A992 steel is E = 29 ( 10 3 ) ksi . Show the Castigliano’s theorem as follows: Δ = ∑ N ( ∂ N ∂ P ) L A E (1) Here, Δ is displacement of the truss joint, P an external force of variable magnitude applied to the truss joint in the direction of Δ , N is internal axial force in a member caused by both force P and the actual loads of the truss, L is length of a member, A is cross-sectional area of a member, and E is modulus of elasticity of a member. Internal force ( N ) calculation: Joint C : Show the free-body diagram of the joint C as in Figure 1. Along the horizontal direction: Determine the internal force in the member BC by resolving the horizontal component of forces. ∑ F x = 0 15 − N B C = 0 N B C = 15 kip ( T ) Along the vertical direction: Determine the internal force in the member CD by resolving the vertical component of forces. ∑ F y = 0 N C D = 0 Joint B : Show the free-body diagram of the joint B as in Figure 2. Determine the value of θ using the relation. tan θ = Opposite side ( L C D ) Adjacent side ( L B C ) (2) Substitute 4 ft for L C D and 3 ft for L B C in Equation (3). tan θ = 4 3 θ = 53.13 ° Along the horizontal direction: Determine the internal force in the member BD by resolving the horizontal component of forces. ∑ F x = 0 N B C − N B D cos θ + P = 0 (3) Substitute 15 kip for N B C and 53.13 ° for θ in Equation (3). 15 − N B D cos 53.13 ° + P = 0 N B D = 15 cos 53.13 ° + P cos 53.13 ° = ( 25 + 1.667 P ) ( C ) Along the vertical direction: Determine the internal force in the member AB by resolving the vertical component of forces. ∑ F y = 0 − 2 − N A B + N B D sin θ = 0 (4) Substitute ( 25 + 1

Plane Trusses

It is defined as, two or more elements like beams or any two or more force members, which when assembled together, behaves like a complete structure or as a single structure. They generally consist of two force member which means any component structure …

Equilibrium Equations

If a body is said to be at rest or moving with a uniform velocity, the body is in equilibrium condition. This means that all the forces are balanced in the body. It can be understood with the help of Newton's first law of motion which states that the res…

Force Systems

When a body comes in interaction with other bodies, they exert various forces on each other. Any system is under the influence of some kind of force. For example, laptop kept on table exerts force on the table and table exerts equal force on it, hence th…
