Applications Trusses are commonly used to support a roof. For a given truss geometry and load, how can we determine the forces in the truss members and select their sizes? A more challenging question is that for a given load, how can we design the trusses’ geometry to minimize cost?

Applications - continued Trusses are also used in a variety of structures like cranes and the frames of aircraft or space stations.

How can we design a light weight structure that will meet load, safety, and cost specifications?

Defining a Simple Truss

A truss is a structure composed of slender members joined together at their end points. If a truss, along with the imposed load, lies in a single plane (as shown at the top right), then it is called a planar truss. A simple truss is a planar truss which begins with a triangular element and can be expanded by adding two members and a joint.

Analysis and Design Assumptions When designing both the member and the joints of a truss, first it is necessary to determine the forces in each truss member. This is called the force analysis of a truss. When doing this, two assumptions are made: 1. All loads are applied at the joints. The weight of the truss members is often neglected as the weight is usually small as compared to the forces supported by the members. 2. The members are joined together by smooth pins. This assumption is satisfied in most practical cases where the joints are formed by bolting or welding. With these two assumptions, the members act as two-force members. They are loaded in either tension or compression. Often compressive members are made thicker to prevent buckling.

Engr221 Chapter 6

3

The Method of Joints

In this method of solving for the forces in truss members, the equilibrium of a joint (pin) is considered. All forces acting at the joint are shown in a FBD. This includes all external forces (including support reactions) as well as the forces acting in the members. Equations of equilibrium (∑ FX= 0 and ∑ FY = 0) are used to solve for the unknown forces acting at the joints.

Steps for Analysis 1. If the support reactions are not given, draw a FBD of the entire truss and determine all the support reactions using the equations of equilibrium. 2. Draw the free-body diagram of a joint with one or two unknowns. Assume that all unknown member forces act in tension (pulling the pin) unless you can determine by inspection that the forces are compressive loads. 3. Apply the scalar equations of equilibrium, ∑ FX = 0 and ∑ FY = 0, to determine the unknown(s). If the answer is positive, then the assumed direction (tension) is correct, otherwise it is in the opposite direction (compression). 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 at each joint in succession until all the required forces are determined.

Zero-Force Members If a joint has only two non-collinear members and there is no external load or support reaction at that joint, then those two members are zeroforce members. In this example members DE, CD, AF, and AB are zero force members. You can easily prove these results by applying the equations of equilibrium to joints D and A. Zero-force members can be removed (as shown in the figure) when analyzing the truss.

Engr221 Chapter 6

Zero-Force Members - continued If three members form a truss joint for which two of the members are collinear and there is no external load or reaction at that joint, then the third non-collinear member is a zero force member. Again, this can easily be proven. One can also remove the zero-force members, as shown, on the left, for analyzing the truss further. Note that zero-force members are used to increase stability and rigidity of the truss, and to provide support for various loading conditions.

Example B Given: P1 = 240 lb and P2 = 100 lb Find: Determine the force in all the truss members (do not forget to mention whether they are in T or C). Plan:

a) Check if there are any zero-force members b) Draw FBD’s of pins D and B, and then apply the E-of-E at those pins to solve for the unknowns

Trusses – Method of Sections Today’s Objective Determine forces in truss members using the method of sections

Class Activities • Applications • Method of sections • Examples

Engr221 Chapter 6

10

Applications

Long trusses are often used to construct bridges. The method of joints requires that many joints be analyzed before we can determine the forces in the middle part of the truss. There is another method to determine these forces directly.

The Method of Sections

In the method of sections, a truss is divided into two parts by taking an imaginary “cut” (shown here as a-a) through the truss. Since truss members are subjected to only tensile or compressive forces along their length, the internal forces at the cut member will also be either tensile or compressive with the same magnitude. This result is based on the equilibrium principle and Newton’s third law.

Engr221 Chapter 6

11

Steps for Analysis

1. Decide how you need to “cut” the truss. This is based on: a) where you need to determine forces, and, b) where the total number of unknowns does not exceed three (in general). 2. Decide which side of the cut truss will be easier to work with (minimize the number of forces you have to find). 3. If required, determine the necessary support reactions by drawing the FBD of the entire truss and applying the E-of-E.

Steps for Analysis - continued

4. Draw the FBD of the selected part of the cut truss. You need to indicate the unknown forces at the cut members. Initially we assume all the members are in tension, as we did when using the method of joints. Upon solving, if the answer is positive, the member is in tension as per your assumption. If the answer is negative, the member must be in compression. (Please note that you can also assume forces to be either in tension or compression by inspection as was done in the figures above.)

Frames and Machines - Definitions

Frames and machines are two common types of structures that have at least one multi-force member. (Recall that trusses have nothing but two-force members). Frames are generally stationary and support external loads. Machines contain moving parts and are designed to alter the effect of forces.

Steps for Analyzing a Frame or Machine 1. Draw the FBD of the frame or machine and its members, as necessary. Hints: a) Identify any two-force members b) Forces on contacting surfaces (usually between a pin and a member) are equal and opposite

c) For a joint with more than two members or an external force, it is advisable to draw a FBD of the pin

2. Develop a strategy to apply the E-of-E to solve for the unknowns. Problems are going to be challenging since there are usually several unknowns. Practice is needed to develop good strategies.
