Question: For the pin-connected truss shown below use the virtual work method to determine the vertical displacement of joint A if members AE and ED experience

For the pin-connected truss shown below use the virtual work method to determine the vertical displacement of joint A if members AE and ED experience a temperature increase of ?T = 250?C.

Assume both C and D are pin supported.

Take A = 1000 mm 2 and E = 200 Gpa.

Also, ? = 12.0 (10 -6 ) ?C. A | -2.4 m- E B -2.4 m- 2.4 m

A | -2.4 m- E B -2.4 m- 2.4 m
