For the given truss system, neglect shear deformations and answer the followings:
a) Calculate the internal forces of the truss elements.
b) Assume 1kN vertical concentrated load moves through points A-B. Plot the influence line diagrams of O2,O4,O6,V3,V4,D4,U2 and U4.
c) Check the internal forces that have been determined at part (a) by influence lines. Make a comparison between part (a) and (b).
d) Calculate translational displacement in terms of EA by using the virtual work principle. Assume all the elements of the truss system have the same cross-sectional area.
