2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is the method used for truss analysis called?
It involves analyzing forces at the joints.
What do tensile forces do in a truss member?
Remember, tensile forces extend the member.
What must be checked first in truss analysis?
Consider what ensures we can proceed with the method of joints.
True or False: A negative force indicates a member is in tension.
Remember the definitions of tension and compression.
Analyze a truss with varied inclined loads and determine forces in each member.
Focus on each joint separately and remember, use assumptions wisely.
Given a truss design failure, hypothesize potential causes based on member forces.
Consider common failure points in structural engineering.
