[1] Problem 1:
A 2D truss has been built on a ceiling supporting a heavy industrial hopper The configuration I has three pinned
nodes (1,2 and 3). Nodes 4 and 5 are loaded symmetrically by a hopper weighing 90 kN as shown in the figure
Figure 1: iruss Conngurauon 1
Dimensions of truss members:
l(?bar(12))=l(?bar(23))=l(?bar(14))=l(?bar(24))=l(?bar(25))=l(?bar(35))=l(?bar(45))=7m
Acs=0.01m2
Elastic Modulus of Truss Members
E=210GPa.
a) Construct the System Free Body Diagram for the truss (1 pts)
b) Construct the Elemental Free Body Diagrams for Elements 1,4 and 7. Find the corresponding elemental
stiffness matrices(3pts
c) Find the displacement of the hopper due to deformation of the truss(2pts)
d) Find the reaction forces at Nodes 1,2 and 3(in x and y directions)(3 pts)
e) Find the elemental forces for Elements 1,4 and 7(3 pts)
f) Find the maximum stress in the truss (3 pts)
