2.12 Problems 81 Moll Mo/L P24 Problem 2.5. The free end of cantilever beam shown in Fig. P2.5 is supported by an inclined tie rod. The cross-sectional area of tie rod is A and the flexural rigidity of cantilever beam is E7. Use strain energy method to determine vertical displacement at the joint & and tension in the tie rod due to concentrated load P acting at B. E is same for the beam and tie rod. [Ans. U = {(AE sin” @.cos@/2L) + (BE1/2L")) 4°, where A is downward displace: ment at the point B, A = P/{(AE sin’ # cos @/L) + 3EI/L*)\) Problem 2.6. In the rigid frame shown in Fig. P.2.6 determine the distance by which the points A move closer under the action of force P acting at the points B. E7 is constant throughout i pa a [Ans. Ay =2Pa'/EL.]82 2 Basie Principles Problem 2.7. The square rigid frame with uniform cross-section shown in Fig. P.2.7 is subjected to diagonally opposite forces P at the points B and D. Ignoring axial deformations determine the distance by which the points A and C move closer, [Hint: Due to symmetry only half the frame ABD carrying load P/2 at the ends B and D need be considered with roller supports such that movement ts allowed only along the diagonal BD i.e. presume the reference coordinate system along the diagonals. Age = Pa®{24EL] Problem 2.8. The three-bar pin-jointed frame in a vertical plane shown in Fig. P.2.8 is subjected toa vertical load P at the common point D. Use energy method to analyse the frame, The bars are of constant cross-section, . os ain sa +| . o / 4a oT | P28 [Hint: Consider BD ax the redundant member with force Ti. The forces in the other bars are Tx, and cosO = 4/3, Vp = Th + 2Tzcosd = P and 2+ 3(P —1:)"}. Therefore, from the theorem of least work: Ty =2.12 Problems 83 Problem 2.9. While fabricating the pin-jointed plane frame shown in Fig, P.2.9, it was found that member AC is fabricated A too short, Determine the forces in the members after assembly. AE is same for all members, P29 [Ans Fo = 535 (compression)} (282) (tension), and Fi Problem 2.10. All members of the truss shown in Fig. P.2.10 are of same cross- section and material. Compute force in each of the members due to opposite forces P acting at A and C. 2.10 [Hint: Consider only half the frame ABC as in problem 2.7.] Problem 2.11. Analyze the continuous beam ABCD shown in Fig. P.2.1 1. The beam is fixed at the end A and supported at B and C, and free at the end D. The beam. carries a concentrated load P at the free end. 16P.
