Problem2 The planar truss shown in the figure below (fig.2) is a structure composed of slender members (metal bars) joined at their endpoints. You are asked to: (a) Determine the support reactions observed by the plan truss; joint pin at A, and roller support at F. (b) Using the joints method determine the force in members "DE", "DF", and "DC". State if these members are in tension [T] or compression [C] (c) Determine all the zero-force members. Le treillis plan illustré dans la figure ci-dessous (fig.2) est une structure composée d'éléments minces (barres métalliques) joints à leurs extrémités. Il vous est demandé de: (a) Déterminez les réactions d'appui observées par le treillis plan; goupille d'articulation en A et un support à rouleau en F. (b) À l'aide de la méthode des joints, déterminez la force dans les éléments DE, DF, et DC. Indiquez si ces éléments sont en tension [T] ou en compression [C] (c) Déterminez tous les membrures à force nulle. m 10 G 15 kN kufatal 10 kN -3m--3m- 2…
EXAMPLE 3.3 Determine the force in each member of the scissors truss shown in Fig. 3-2la. State whether the members are in tension or compression. The reactions at the supports are given. 700 N 800 N SOLUTION A, 566 N 60 60 The truss will be analyzed in the following sequence: 30° 30 Joint E, Fig. 3-21b. Note that simultaneous solution of equations is avoided by the x, y axes orientation. 3m 3 m E,-764 N A, 502 N (a)
P FIG. P1.48 1.48 The links of the chain are made of steel that has a working stress of 300 MPa in tension. If the chain is to support the force P = 45 kN, determine the smallest safe diameter d of the links. P
