Apply a free-body analysis to the bar BDE to find the forces exerted by links AB and DC. Evaluate the deformation of links AB and DC or the displacements of B and D. Work out the geometry to find the deflection at E given the deflections at B and D. Example 5 (cont’d) SOLUTION: Free body: Bar BDE. ∑ MB = 0.
In the linear portion of the stress-strain diagram, the tress is proportional to strain and is given by $\sigma = E \varepsilon$ since $\sigma = P / A$ and $\varepsilon = \delta / L$, then $\dfrac {P} {A} = E \dfrac {\delta} {L}$ $\delta = \dfrac {PL} {AE} = \dfrac {\sigma L} {E}$ To use this formula, the load must be axial, the bar must have a ...

In Module 12, we saw how two integrations of the loading function \(q(x)\) produces first the shear function \(V(x)\) and then the moment function \(M(x)\): \[V = - \int q(x) dx + c_1\] \[M = - \int V(x) dx + c_2\] where the constants of integration \(c_1\) and \(c_2\) are evaluated from suitable boundary conditions on \(V\) and \(M\).
the constants of integration by evaluating our expression for displacement v(x) and/or our expression for the slope dv/dx at points where we are sure of their val-ues. One such boundary condition is that, at x=0 the displacement is zero, i.e., vx()= 0 x = 0 Another is that, at the support point B, the displacement must vanish, i.e., vx() = 0
Tensile and compressive stresses are called direct stresses and act normal to the cross-sectional surface. Since stress is directly proportional to force divided by area, and strain (a dimensionless quantity) is related to deflection as. x , ε 1⁄4 L. (1.3) we can now rewrite Hooke’s law as. ε, 1⁄4.
Displacement diagrams are effectively plotting the displacement vectors of the joints as defined by the end of the bars. The displacement vector for the end of a bar is made up of two components: (1) an extension, of a magnitude defined by the bar force and the constitutive behavior of the bar which is parallel to the direction of the bar and (2) a
