Additional Materials

• Some Truss Problems : Zero force members,  Problems
• Statically Determinate Truss and Beams : Zero force members, Steps to solve truss problem, Use Symmetry wherever possible, Solved Examples
• Axial Force (AFD), Shear Force (SFD) and Bending Moment (BMD) Diagrams : Steps to solve and draw the diagrams, graphical method, Solved Examples
  • Lecture on Tuesday 14th November (pdf)
  • Lecture on Thursday 16th November (pdf)
    
• Some Practice Problems with Solutions
  • Truss
    • First find out the reactions
    • Use symmetry wherever applicable
    • Look for zero force members or special members
    • Then proceed to finding out member forces.
  • Frames
    • At pin joint, two resisting reaction forces (Rx and Ry) would get developed for each of the members connected to the pin. 
    • Identify two-force members if any
    • At pin joint, the moment is zero for all the individual members connecting that pin.
    • Homework#4 Problem#1(b) Solution
  • Axial Force, Shear Force and Bending moment Diagrams
    • First find out reactions
    • Take any section by cutting the beam at a distance x from one end and find out shear force (T), bending moment (M) and Axial Force (N) as a function of x.
    • Or Use the graphical method as discussed in class.
• Revisiting all the concepts  (Problem Set) (27th November)
  

Virtual Work 

• Learning Virtual Work Method in Statics in a Nutshell  (Prof Ing-Chang Jong, University of Arkansas): Look at solved examples.
  
• Practice Problems (Discussion Section, 4th Dec, 2017)
• Virtual Work Method Notes and Problem with Solution

Best of Luck for Finals !
