REVIEWER IN STATICS IN RIGID BODIES:
METHODS OF ANALYSIS OF TRUSSES: The
CONCEPTS.
LAW OF INERTIA (1ST LAW OF MOTION) –
An object will remain at rest or uniform motion
unless compelled to change by an external.
LAW OF ACCELATION (2ND LAW OF
MOTION) – F = ma
LAW OF ACTION (3RD LAW OF MOTION) –
Strength of materials, every action has an
equal opposite reaction.
RIGID BODY – A body that will not deform.
EQUILIBRIUM – A forces that has no zero net
forces.
FORCES SYSTEM
COPLANAR FORCE SYSTEM is a system of
forces acting on the same plane. Any external
agent that is responsible for producing a
change in the condition of rest or motion is
called a force.
NON – COPLANAR FORCE – If the lines of
action of all the forces in a force system do not
lie in the same plane.
PARALLEL FORCES - a situation in which two
forces of equal magnitude act in the same
direction within the same plane, with the
counter force in the middle.
COLLINEAR FORCES - are forces that have a
common line of action.
CON – CURRENT – A set of point forces is
considered concurrent if all the lines of action
of those forces all come together at a single
point.
NONCON – CURRENT - Forces are two or
more forces whose magnitudes are equal but
act in opposite directions with a common line of
action.
METHOD OF TRUSSES ANALYSIS
two common methods of analysis of trusses
are the method of joint and the method of
section (or moment).
METHODS OF JOINTS: This method involves
isolating each joint of the truss and considering
the equilibrium of the joint when determining
the member axial force.
METHODS OF SECTION: This method entails
passing an imaginary section through the truss
to divide it into two sections. The member
forces are determined by considering the
equilibrium of the part of the truss on either
side of the section.
ROLLERS: The roller permits rotation about
any axis. It also permits translation in any
direction parallel to the surface. It prohibits
translation towards the surface.
A TRUSS is a structure composed of slender
members joined together at their end points.
ZERO FORCES MEMBERS If a joint has only
two non-collinear members and there is no
external load or support reaction at that joint.
TENSILE FORCE – Always moving away from
the point.
COMPRESSIVE FORCE – Always moving
towards the point.
