 REFRESHING OF BASIC CONCEPTS
WHAT IS CORRESPONDING TO FORCE?

WHAT IS CORRESPONDING TO STRESS?

WHAT IS CORRESPONDING TO INTERNAL FORCE?

HOW WE CAN FIND A FORCE ACTING ON A CROSS SECTION?

HOW MANY EQUATIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN 3D?

HOW MANY EQUATIONS ARE AVAILABLE IN 2D?

PROPORTIONALITY AND REVERSIBILITY BETWEEN STRESS AND STRAIN IS

TERMED AS?

WHAT IS RIGID BODY MOVEMENT?

WHAT IS LINEARITY HOW CAN DEFINE IT MATHEMATICALLY?

CAN A NON LINEARITY EXISTS EVEN MATERIAL PROPERTIES ARE LINEAR

WHAT ARE INDEPENDENTS AND DEPENDENTS, EXAMPLE?

 BASIC CONCEPTS
DISPLACEMENTS AND CORRESPONDING DISPLACEMENTS
UNDER APPLICATION OF A FORCE SYSTEM STRUCTURE UNDER GOES
DEFORMATIONS AND ACCELERATIONS UNTIL IT COMES IN EQUILIBRIUM UNDER
CHANGED LOADING CONDITIONS

THE APPLIED FORCE SYSTEM CAN TAKE ANY FORM BUT THE REACTION SYSTEM
WILL DEPEND ON BOUNDARY CONDITIONS, MATERIAL AND SHAPE OF THE
ELEMENT

THERE CAN BE INFINITE REACTIONS BUT DUE TO AVAILABLE EQUATIONS WE

ONLY CONSIDER 3 OR 6 FOR 2 D OR 3 D ANALYSIS

THE DISPLACEMENTS WHICH OCCUR IN DIRECTION OF THE LOAD ARE CALLED

AS CORRESPONDING DISPLACEMENTS

SIMILARLY WE HAVE STRESS CORRESPONDING STRAIN AND INTERNAL FORCES

AND CORRESPONDING DEFORMATIONS

OUT OF THESE PAIRS WE CAN DEFINE ANY ONE AND REMAINING CAN BE
DETERMINED ACCORDINGLY
 BASIC CONCEPTS
DEFINING SYSTEM OF FORCES AND STRUCTURE
FORCES ARE RESOLVED IN PRINCIPLE DIRECTIONS

THE ELEMENTS HAVE LOCAL AXIS AND THE STRUCTURE IS DEFINED IN THE
GLOBAL AXIS

VERY RARELY, WHEN WE HAVE SMALLER NUMBER OF FORCES, WE MAY NOT

RESOLVE THEM AND DEFINE INDEPENDENT SYSTEM. THIS KIND OF SYSTEM
CANNOT BE USED IN COMPUTER PROGRAMMING
 BASIC CONCEPTS
DEPENDENT AND INDEPENDENT ACTIONS AND DISPLACEMENTS
IN 2D SYSTEM WHEN WE HAVE GREATER NUMBER OF FORCES THEN THE
EQUATIONS THEN WE CAN DEFINE 3 FORCES AND REMAINING CAN BE DEFINED
IN CORRESPONDING TO THOSE DEFINED

THE DISPLACEMENT OF BEAM END POINTS

THE CHANGE IN DISTANCE IS DEPENDENT ON THE STIFFNESS OF THE ELEMENT

THE BEAM FLEXIBILITY AND COMPRESSION IN SPRINGS

 BASIC CONCEPTS
SUPER POSITION OF ACTIONS AND DISPLACEMENTS INFLUENCE
COEFFICIENTS
THE LOAD DISPLACEMENT RELATION WILL BE PROPORTIONAL IF THERE IS NO
GEOMETRIC OR MATERIAL CONSTRAINT

FOR A ELEMENT WHICH HAS PROPORTIONALITY AND REVERSIBILITY BETWEEN

STRESS AND STRAIN. THE INCREMENTS IN FORCE AND CORRESPONDING
DISPLACEMENTS CAN BE SUPERIMPOSED
 BASIC CONCEPTS
GEOMETRIC OR LOADING CONDITIONS CAN CAUSE NONLINEARITY
EXAMPLE OF BEAM

USE OF COMPATIBILITY
