CVEN345 -- Assignment 6


Due: Mar. 7, 2000



There is a hint page for the assignment. If you can't read any of the numbers in the figures click on the figure and the figure will increase in size. If you have questions, email me! I have added a question page to handle any questions that have been asked.




[1]
Determine the horizontal deflection at C. The cross-sectional area of each member is indicated. Assume the members are pin-connected at their end points. E= 29 X 103 ksi. Use the method of virtual work.

10 pts.


[2]
The cross-sectional area of each member is indicated in the figure. E =29 X 106 psi. Assume all the members pin-connected at their end points.
(a) If member EB has been fabricated 0.2 in. too short, find the vertical deflection at C.
(b) If members AB and BC experience a temperature increase of DT = 200o F and a = 2 X 10 - 6 /oF. Determine the vertical deflection at B.

10 pts.


[3]
Determine the horizontal deflection at C. If members AB and BC experience a temperature increase of DT = 160o F and a = 2 X 10 - 6 /oF. E =29 X 106 psi. Take A = 2 in2. Assume all the members pin-connected at their end points and loads are applied at the joints.

10 pts.


[4]
Determine the vertical deflection of the truss at F. The AE is the constant for all members. Assume all the members are pin-connected at their end points. Use the method of virtual work.

10 pts.
