Define Degrees of Freedom.
Think of how a structure can move or rotate.
What is the difference between statically determinate and indeterminate structures?
Consider how many equations you would need.
What is a Degree of Freedom?
Think of how a structure moves in space.
True or False: A statically indeterminate structure can be analyzed without compatibility equations.
Remember how many equations are needed.
