1 6.6 FRAMES AND MACHINES APPLICATIONS Frames are commonly used to support various external loads. How is a frame different than a truss? How can you determine the forces at the joints and supports of a frame?

2 APPLICATIONS (continued) Machines, like these above, are used in a variety of applications. How are they different from trusses and frames? How can you determine the loads at the joints and supports? These forces and moments are required when designing the machine members.

3 FRAMES AND MACHINES: DEFINITIONS Frames and machines are two common types of structures that have at least one multi-force member. (Recall that trusses have nothing but two-force members). Frames are generally stationary and support external loads. Machines contain moving parts and are designed to alter the effect of forces.

4 STEPS FOR ANALYZING A FRAME OR MACHINE 1. Draw the FBD of the frame or machine and its members, as necessary. Hints: a) Identify any two-force members, b) Forces on contacting surfaces (usually between a pin and a member) are equal and opposite, and, c) For a joint with more than two members or an external force, it is advisable to draw a FBD of the pin. Pin B F AB F AB 2. Develop a strategy to apply the equations of equilibrium to solve for the unknowns. Problems are going to be challenging since there are usually several unknowns. A lot of practice is needed to develop good strategies.

5 EXAMPLE Given: The wall crane supports an external load of 700 lb. Find: The force in the cable at the winch motor W and the horizontal and vertical components of the pin reactions at A, B, C, and D. Plan: a) Draw FBDs of the frame s members and pulleys. b) Apply the equations of equilibrium and solve for the unknowns.

6 EXAMPLE (continued) FBD of the Pulley E T T 700 lb E Necessary Equations of Equilibrium: + F Y = 2 T 700 = 0 T = 350 lb

7 350 lb EXAMPLE (continued) 30 C Y B X C X B Y 350 lb B C 350 lb A FBD of pulley C 350 lb A FBD of pulley B + F X = C X 350 = 0 C X = 350 lb + F Y = C Y 350 = 0 C Y = 350 lb + F X = B X sin 30 = 0 B X = 175 lb + F Y = B Y 350 cos 30 = 0 B Y = lb

8 EXAMPLE (continued) Please note that member BD is a twoforce member. A FBD of member ABC + M A = T BD sin 45 (4) (4) 700 (8) = 0 T BD = 2409 lb + F Y = A Y sin = 0 A Y = 700 lb + F X = A X 2409 cos = 0 A X A X A Y = 1880 lb A 45 T BD B 175 lb lb 4 ft 4 ft 350 lb 700 lb

9 EXAMPLE (continued) A FBD of member BD 2409 lb D 45 B 2409 lb At D, the X and Y component are + D X + D Y = 2409 cos 45 = 1700 lb = 2409 sin 45 = 1700 lb

10 CONCEPT QUIZ 1. The figures show a frame and its FBDs. If an additional couple moment is applied at C, then how will you change the FBD of member BC at B? A) No change, still just one force (F AB ) at B. B) Will have two forces, B X and B Y, at B. C) Will have two forces and a moment at B. D) Will add one moment at B.

11 CONCEPT QUIZ (continued) D 2. The figures show a frame and its FBDs. If an additional force is applied at D, then how will you change the FBD of member BC at B? A) No change, still just one force (F AB ) at B. B) Will have two forces, B X and B Y, at B. C) Will have two forces and a moment at B. D) Will add one moment at B.

12 GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING Given: A frame and loads as shown. Find: The reactions that the pins exert on the frame at A, B and C. Plan: a) Draw a FBD of members AB and BC. b) Apply the equations of equilibrium to each FBD to solve for the six unknowns. Think about a strategy to easily solve for the unknowns.

13 GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING (continued) FBDs of members AB and BC: B Y BX B Y B B X B A X A 45º 1000N 0.4m 500N C 0.2m 0.2m 0.2m 0.4m C Y A Y Equating moments at A and C to zero, we get: + M A = B X (0.4) + B Y (0.4) 1000 (0.2) = 0 + M C = -B X (0.4) + B Y (0.6) (0.4) = 0 B Y = 0 and B X = 500 N

14 GROUP PROBLEM SOLVING (continued) FBDs of members AB and BC: B Y BX B Y B B X B A X A 45º 1000N 0.4m 500N C Applying E-of-E to bar AB: 0.2m 0.2m A Y 0.2m 0.4m C Y + F X = A X 500 = 0 ; A X = 500 N + F Y = A Y 1000 = 0 ; A Y = 1,000 N Consider member BC: + F X = 500 C X = 0 ; C X = 500 N + F Y = C Y 500 = 0 ; C Y = 500 N

15 1. When determining the reactions at joints A, B, and C, what is the minimum number of unknowns for solving this problem? A) 3 B) 4 C) 5 D) 6 ATTENTION QUIZ 2. For the above problem, imagine that you have drawn a FBD of member AB. What will be the easiest way to write an equation involving unknowns at B? A) M C = 0 B) M B = 0 C) M A = 0 D) F X = 0
