Problem No.1 Find the degree of freedom for the following figures.

Degree of Freedom for Massless Spring

Degree of freedom: 1

Degree of freedom for Massless spring with rigid link between two consecutive
masses.

Degree of Freedom= 1

Degree of freedom for two Massless spring in series

Degree of freedom= 2

Degree of freedom for Rigid Beam

Degree of freedom (DOF) = 1

Degree of freedom for Rigid Beam

Degree of Freedom (DOD) = 7

Determine the equivalent stiffness of system shown in figure.

Data:
E=
I=
K=
Solution:
Equivalent stiffness Ke=?
Stiffness of beam pinned support as
K=

Determine the equivalent stiffness of the system shown in figure. Take K1=1 KN/m and
K Beam =5KN/m

Determine the equivalent stiffness of the system shown in figure. Take K1=1 KN/m and
K Beam =5KN/m

(same displacement)

So
