    STIFFNESS METHOD FOR TRUSSES

    PREPARED BY: ENGR. VILLAMOR D. ABAD JR.


    Degree of Freedom
    - Is defined as displacement component.
    - The number of degrees of freedom of a system
    is the number of displacement components or
    coordinates needed to define its position in
    space at any given time under any loading
    Definition of terms
    Node points
    - The physical joint of a structure since these are
    the points of connection of the elements of the
    analytical model.
    Member or element
    - Physical component of a structure
    Global Coordinate
    - Is established for the complete structure
    Local axes
    - Are fixed to the respective elements and these
    axes may differ from element to element.
    ELEMENT STIFFNESS EQUATIONS

    Where
    = element stiffness matrix
    = displacement vector
    = element force
    From mechanics of deformable
    Bodies
    u1 = F1

    F2 = -F1
    =
    F2 = -F1

    PROBLEM 1
    A statically determinate truss is subjected to the load and
    resulting bar forces shown. What is the displacement of a? E =
    200 GPa.
    PROBLEM 2
    A statically determinate truss is subjected to the load and
    resulting bar forces shown. What are the bar forces and the
    displacement of a? E = 200000 MPa
    PROBLEM 3
    Determine the joint displacements, member axial forces and
    support reactions of the truss shown.
