The plane truss shown below has 17 members ,FH,GH,GI,HI,HJ and IJ). The members are constructed from steel (Young's modulus =30x106 and Poisson's ratio =0.29). All members have circular cross sections with radii of 1 in . Note that joints B and I are midway between joints A&D and G&J, respectively.
Part A: Using the case definitions given in Table 1, perform a hand calculation using the method of joints ?1 and/or the method of sections ?2 to determine the following:
Which member (identified by joint letters, e.g.AB,AC, etc.) has the largest tensile stress? What is the stress (in ksi ) in the member with the largest tensile stress? Which member (identified by joint letters, e.g.AB,AC, etc.) has the largest compressive stress?
What is the stress (in ksi ) in the member with the largest compressive stress?
