What is joints?
100
A horizontal one-dimensional structure that is usually loaded vertically and transverse to its long axis.
What is a beam?
100
A structure that retains its shape when removed from its supports, is internally ...
What is stable?
100
The slope of this quantity when sketched equals the value of the shear force.
What is moment?
200
A support that allows translation in one direction
What is a roller?
200
If this quantity is sketched for a beam, its area gives the bending moment
What is shear?
200
A support that prevents displacements but not rotations.
What is a hinge?
200
In truss analysis, if interest is only in the axial force in a single member, use the method of ...
What is sections?
200
In solving simple structures that involve hinges and internal rollers, it is often best to first use an equation of ...
What is condition?
300
For a 2-D structure, there are three equations of ...
What is equilibrium?
300
This versatile method of structural analysis can be used to find deflections and rotations for trusses, beams, frames, etc.
What is virtual work?
300
With the method of consistent deformations, if one has a degree of indeterminacy equal to 1 that is due to an overly restrained condition, first identify a support that is ...
What is redundant?
300
In this type of 2-D structure, one needs to determine the axial force, shear force, and bending moment in each member.
What is a plane frame?
300
If there as many equations to analyze a structure as the number of unknowns, the structure is statically ...
What is determinate?
400
This is a diagram that shows the variation of a response quantity of interest as a unit load (vertically) is placed on a beam.
