10. Trusses and Structure Analysis

Simple Trusses A truss is an assembly of beams or other elements that creates a rigid structure. Assumptions for Design

For a rigid body to be in equilibrium, the net force as well as the net moment about any arbitrary

When two couples produce a moment with the same magnitude and direction, they are equivalent couples. Resultant Moment of Couple

What is a Couple Moment? A couple is defined as two parallel forces that have the exact same magnitude, but

What is a moment of a Force? The Moment of a force is a measure of its tendency to cause a body

What is a free body diagram? A free-body diagram (FBD) is a diagram used to show the relative magnitudes and

What is friction? It is a force that resists the movement of two contacting surfaces that slide relative to one

Cartesian Vector 3D to solve Force Vector 3D Right Hand Coordinate System A rectangular coordinate system is said to be

Define Force vector? A force vector is a representation of a force that has both magnitude and direction. This is opposed to simply giving

Introduction to Statics #1 Statics is a branch of mechanics which involves body at rest. The study has been extensively used in
