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.
the load will be proportional to displacement. σ = P/A δ = PL/AE 2. The geometry of the structure must not undergo significant change when the loads are applied, i.e., small displacement theory applies. Large displacements will significantly change and orientation of the loads. An example would be a cantilevered thin rod subjected to a force ...
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 ...

20 mar 2011 · This is calculated using the formula d = PL/AE, where d is the end deflection of the bar in meters, P is the applied load in Newtons, L is the length of the bar in meters, A is the cross sectional area of the bar in square meters, and E is the modulus of elasticity in N/m2.
We determine 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.,
• Determine the relative displacement of the free end at A with respect to the fixed end at D. The modulus of elasticity for aluminum is 10 x 10 6 psi • Solve the problem using the ( a)discrete element method, and (b) the superposition method.
