Lesson October 16th#
During todayβs lesson youβll work on a complex exercise on the topic of the Displacement method. Please ask your questions regarding the homework as well!
Exercise Displacement method#
Given the following structure. Use the horizontal displacement at \(\text{D}\) as the degree of freedom (β).
Find the relation of the normal force in \(\text{CD}\) in terms of the degree of freedom \(w_\text{D}\).
Solve the value of the degree of freedom.
Find the bending moment distribution.
Solution assignment 1
In terms of the horizontal displacement at \(\text{D}\):
\(N_\text{CD} = 45β1500 w_D\)
\(N_\text{CD} = 3000 w_D - 11.25\)
Solution assignment 2
\(w_D = 1.25 \text{ cm}\) (β)
