Civil and Environmental Engineering 2202A/B Lecture Notes - Lecture 4: Statically Indeterminate
Document Summary
"the further away you go from the point of application of the load, the more evenly distributed the stress will be" Elastic deformation (displacement) of an axially loaded member. How much a beam will elongate of shorten due to an applied load. He went over how changing each of these variables has an impact on the elongation as per the formula. If you have a bunch of different members that are connected, the elongation of the total body is the sum of the elongations of each member. "as long as you have a constant p, a constant l, a constant a or a constant e, you will not have to integrate. If one of those things is changing, you will have to integrate" "indeterminate structures means you have to think for a way out. The first is called compatibility equation" (which is equation of condition from structures i"m p sure)
