Define static equilibrium.
Think about what holds structures stable.
What does an internal hinge do?
Consider how doors operate.
What must sum to zero for a structure to be in static equilibrium?
Consider all acting forces.
True or False: An internal hinge provides a moment resistance.
Think about how hinges work.
A rigid frame is supported by three beams with varying loads. Using the equilibrium equations, determine the support reactions.
Identify the applied loads and their locations carefully.
Construct a truss structure with internal hinges and calculate the forces in each member using static equilibrium equations.
Start with the joints and work systematically through the structure.
