14 Principle of Superposition P = P 1 + P 2 d = d P 1 Two requirements must be imposed for the principle of superposition to apply : 1. The material must behave in a linear-elastic manner, so that Hooke s law is valid, and therefore the load will be proportional to displacement. σ = P/ δ = PL/E + d P 2 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. n example would be a cantilevered thin rod subjected to a force at its end. 14

15 Equations of Equilibrium ΣF x = 0 ΣF y = 0 ΣF z = 0 ΣM x = 0 ΣM y = 0 ΣM z = 0 N M M N V V internal loadings 15

16 Determinacy and Stability Determinacy r = 3n, statically determinate r > 3n, statically indeterminate n = the total parts of structure members. r = the total number of unknown reactive force and moment components 16

17 Example 2-1 lassify each of the beams shown below as statically determinate or statically indeterminate. If statically indeterminate, report the number of degrees of indeterminacy. The beams are subjected to external loadings that are assumed to be known and can act anywhere on the beams. hinge hinge 17

18 SOLUTION r = 3, n = 1, 3 = 3(1) Statically determinate r = 5, n = 1, 5-3(1) = 2 Statically indeterminate to the second degree hinge r = 6, n = 2, 6 = 3(2) Statically determinate r = 10, n = 3, 10-3(3) = 1 Statically indeterminate to the first degree 18

19 Example 2-2 lassify each of the pin-connected structures shown in figure below as statically determinate or statically indeterminate. If statically are subjected to arbitrary external loadings that are assumed to be known and can act anywhere on the structures. 19

20 SOLUTION r = 7, n = 2, 7-3(2) = 1 Statically indeterminate to the first degree r = 9, n = 3, 9 = 3(3) Statically determinate 20

21 r = 10, n = 2, 10-6 = 4 Statically indeterminate to the fourth degree r = 9, n = 3, 9 = 3(3) Statically determinate 21

22 Example 2-3 lassify each of the frames shown in figure below as statically determinate or statically indeterminate. If statically indeterminate, report the number of degrees of indeterminacy. The frames are subjected to external loadings that are assumed to be known and can act anywhere on the frames. D 22

23 SOLUTION D r = 9, n = 2, 9-6 = 3 Statically indeterminate to the third degree r = 15, n = 3, 15-9 = 6 Statically indeterminate to the sixth degree 23

24 Stability r < 3n, unstable > r 3n, unstable if member reactions are concurrent or parallel or some of the components form a collapsible mechanism Partial onstrains P P M F 24

25 Improper onstraints O O P d d F F F P P P F F F 25

26 Example 2-4 lassify each of the structures in the figure below as stable or unstable. The structures are subjected to arbitrary external loads that are assumed to be known. hinge D 26

27 SOLUTION The member is stable since the reactions are non-concurrent and nonparallel. It is also statically determinate. hinge The compound beam is stable. It is also indeterminate to the second degree. The compound beam is unstable since the three reactions are all parallel. 27

28 The member is unstable since the three reactions are concurrent at. D The structure is unstable since r = 7, n = 3, so that, r < 3n, 7 < 9. lso, this can be seen by inspection, since can move horizontally without restraint. 28
