Question

When a node is fixed to a roller, it is permitted to move only along a straight line the direction of the roller. Consider the three-bar structure in Example 6.5. Suppose node 1 is fixed, but node 4 is attached to a roller that permits it to move only in the horizontal direction. (a) Construct the reduced incidence matrix and the equilibrium equations in this situation. You should have a system of 5 equations in 5 unknowns - the horizontal and vertical displacements of nodes 2 and 3 and the horizontal displacement of node 4 . (b) Is your structure stable? If not, how many rigid motions and how many mechanisms does it permit?

Step 1

- Assume a three-bar structure with nodes 1, 2, 3, and 4. - Node 1 is fixed, meaning it cannot move in any direction. - Node 4 is attached to a roller that allows only horizontal movement. - Nodes 2 and 3 are free to move in both horizontal and vertical  Show more…
