Question
Bar ABC has a rectangular cross section of 300 mm by 100 mm. Attached rod DB has a diameter of 20 mm. If both members are made of A-36 steel, determine the vertical displacement of point C due to the loading. Consider only the effect of bending in ABC and axial force in DB.
Solution
The first step in solving 14.6 problem number 46 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Bar ABC has a rectangular cross section of 300 mm by 100 mm. Attached rod DB has a diameter of 20 mm. If both members are made of A-36 steel, determine the vertical displacement of point C due to the loading. Consider only the effect of bending in ABC and axial force in DB.
From the textbook chapter METHOD OF VIRTUAL FORCES APPLIED TO TRUSSES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
