determinacy, method of joints, method of sections. Introduction to 3D trusses.
Plane Frames, analysis of member forces. Simple Machines, mechanical advantage,
velocity ratio, efficiency.
•
Simulation of plane trusses using FEM softwares.
•
Physical modeling of 2D trusses using wooden sticks
•
Case Studies of Collapse of 3D Trusses
Method of
Virtual Work: Principle of virtual work, analysis of
planar machines/mechanisms, Mechanical efficiency of real machines, Potential
energy and equilibrium, Stability of equilibrium of mechanical systems
Activities:
