Lesson Friday September 25th

During today’s lesson you’ll work on an exercise on the topic of the force method for truss structures. Please ask your questions regarding the homework as well!

Exercise force method for truss structures

Given the following structure.

  1. Find the normal force in element BC\text{BC} and BE\text{BE}
  2. Find the displacement of joint E\text{E}
Solution assignment 1

NBE≈3.074 kNN_\text{BE} \approx 3.074 \text{ kN}

NBC≈2.273 kNN_\text{BC} \approx 2.273 \text{ kN}

Solution assignment 2

wE≈6.147 mmw_\text{E} \approx 6.147 \text{ mm} ↓
