    Here are the step-by-step workings: 1. Draw FBD of entire truss and determine reactions at supports = RA and RB 2. Draw FBD of joint A and use ΣFy=0 to find force in member AC 3. Draw FBD of joint B and use ΣFx=0 to find force in member BC 4. Draw FBD of joint C and use ΣFy=0 and ΣFx=0 to find forces in members CD and CE 5. State whether each member is in tension or compression Repeat this process moving systematically from joint to joint until all member forces are determined.

    Analysis of Trusses by the Method of


    Sections
     For the equilibrium of structures made of several
    connected parts, the internal forces as well the
    external forcesare considered.

    INTRODUCTION
     In the interaction between connected
    parts, Newton's 3rd Law states that the
    forces of action and reactionbetween
    bodies in contact have the same
    magnitude, same line of action, and
    opposite sense.
    • Three broad categories of engineering structures
    will be considered:

    1. Trusses, which are designed to support loads and are usually


    stationary, fully constrained structures. Trusses consist exclusively
    of straight members connected at joints located at the

    INTRODUCTION: ends of each member. Members of a truss, therefore, are twoforce


    members, i.e., members acted upon by two equal and
    opposite forces directed along the member.

    2. Frames, which are also designed to support loads and are also
    usually stationary, fully constrained structures. However, like
    the crane of Fig. 6.1, frames always contain at least one multiforce
    member, i.e., a member acted upon by three or more
    forces which, in general, are not directed along the
    member.

    3. Machines, which are designed to transmit and modify forces


    and are structures containing moving parts. Machines, like
    frames, always contain at least one multiforce member.

    WHAT IS A TRUSS?

     Members of a truss are slender and not capable of supporting


    large lateral loads. Loads must be applied at the joints.
    WHAT IS A TRUSS?
    ANALYSIS OF TRUSSES BY THE
    METHOD OF JOINTS
    •Dismember the truss and create a freebody diagram
    for each member and pin.

    •The two forces exerted on each member are equal,


    have the same line of action, and opposite sense.

    •Forces exerted by a member on the pins or joints at its


    ends are directed along the member and equal and
    opposite.

    •Conditions of equilibrium are used to solve for 2


    unknown forces at each pin (or joint), giving a total of
    2nsolutions, where n=number of joints. Forces are
    found by solving for unknown forces while moving
    from joint to joint sequentially.
