SD TRUSS PROBLEM WITH THE METHOD OF JOINTS

Question

The truss structure ABCD is loaded with a concentrated force P = 2 kN applied at a 45° angle at joint D as indicated in the figure. All bars in the truss have equal cross sectional area and are made of the same homogeneous linear elastic material. The dimensions are H=3 m and L=8 m. Use the method of joints to obtain the axial forces in the bars and the Cartesian components of the reactions at the supports A and C.

1_A, 1_B, 1_C

Answer 1

1_A : -1.17, -1.17, 1.4142, 0.936, 2.35
1_B : -1.414, 0.702, 0.702

Answer 2

1_C:-4.05, -4.05,2.59,6.49

Anyone for HW4_2: Part I?

Answer 3

4_2 part IIA RxA=4, RyA=0
4_2 part IIB RxE=4, RyE=2

Answer 4

RxA= -4, sorry

Answer 5

problem 4_2 part :1
A load W=2 kN is applied vertically to joint C of truss ABCDE as indicated.
plz help

Answer 6

Please HW4_2: Part I?

Answer 7

Anybody for Problem: HW4_2: Part I please?

Answer 8

Has somebody formula for HW4_2: Part I?

Answer 10

Simonsay thanks. Something is wrong with the expression, could you please check?
I don't get right answer.

Answer 11

-1,1,-0.7071,0,0,0
0,0,-0.7071,-1,0,0
0,-1,0,0,-0.7071,0
0,0,0,0,-0.7071,0
0,0,0,0,0.7071,-1
0,0,0,1,0.7071,0

1/sqrt(2) = 1/1.4142 = 0.7071

Answer 12

Simonsay, is that like this below? I have just tried it does not give right answer and says:
Expression or statement is incomplete or incorrect.

ANy help please and did someone manage?

% Define the coefficient matrix a
a =
N_AB -1,1,-0.7071,0,0,0
N_BC 0,0,-0.7071,1,0,0
N_BE 0,-1,0,0,-0.7071,0
N_BD 0,0,0,0,-0.7071,0
N_CD 0,0,0,0,0.7071,-1

Answer 13

Please help simonsay! Have problem with expresion too.

Answer 14

try C/P this

% Define the coefficient matrix a
a =[-1 1 -sqrt(2)/2 0 0 0; 0 0 -sqrt(2)/2 -1 0 0; 0 -1 0 0 -sqrt(2)/2 0; 0 0 0 0 -sqrt(2)/2 0;
0 0 0 0 sqrt(2)/2 -1; 0 0 0 1 sqrt(2)/2 0];

% Define the right-hand-side vector b
b = [0; 0 ; 0; 2; 0; 0];

% Solve for solution vector
X = a\b

Answer 15

you must type the numbers, curly N just to indicate where is aplied

Answer 16

Thanks regz and simonsay!
