Tutorial 1
1) Determine the force in each member of the assembly shown in the figure. Take
A = 300mm
2
and E = 200 GPa for each member.
2) Determine the force in member 5. Take A = 0.0015m
2
and E = 200 GPa for
each member.
3) Determine the vertical displacement at joint 2 and the support reactions.
Assume AE is constant.
Answers:
1) Structure stiffness matrix
q1 = -16.7 kN , q2 = 0 kN , q3 = 16.7 kN
2) Structure stiffness matrix
Force in member 5 = 33.3KN
3) For member 1,
Structure stiffness matrix
D1 = 6.75x10
3
/ (AE) , D2 = -29.3x10
3
/ (AE) , D3 = 4.25x10
3
/ (AE)
Q4 = 3.18 kN , Q5 = -2.25 kN , Q6 = 0.75 kN
