3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define static indeterminacy.
Think about the conditions needed to solve structural equations.
What does the stiffness method focus on?
Contrast with the flexibility method!
What is the primary focus of the stiffness method?
Remember the contrast from the flexibility method.
True or False: Kinematic indeterminacy refers to the number of forces in a structure.
Think back to the definitions we discussed!
A continuous beam has supports at both ends and is subjected to a uniform load across its length. Calculate the internal moments using the stiffness method, and explain how the degrees of freedom play a role in this calculation.
Draw a diagram to visualize the beam and identify the points of interest for your moments.
Given a frame structure, analyze its kinematic indeterminacy when the joints can rotate freely and calculate if additional members are required to achieve static determinacy.
Keep track of each element in the structure while calculating!
