1 3.0 Outline Mechanical System Isolation (FBD) 2-D Systems Equilibrium Conditions 3-D Systems Equilibrium Conditions 3.0 Outline

2 3.0 Outline When a body is in equilibrium, the resultant on the body is zero. And if the resultant on a body is zero, the body is in equilibrium. So, F = 0 M = 0 is the necessary and sufficient conditions for equilibrium. 3.0 Outline

3 3.1 Mechanical System Isolation (FBD) Free-Body Diagram (FBD) is the most important first step in the mechanics problems. It defines clearly the interested system to be analyzed. It represents all forces which act on the system. The system may be rigid, nonrigid, or their combinations. The system may be in fluid, gaseous, solid, or their combinations. FBD represents the isolated / combination of bodies as a single body. Corresponding indicated forces may be 1. Contact force with other bodies that are removed virtually. 2. Body force such as gravitational or magnetic attraction forces. 3.1 FBD

4 3.1 FBD

5 Remarks 1. Force by flexible cable is always a tension. Weight of the cable may be significant. 2. Smooth surface ideally cannot support the tangential or frictional force. Contact force of the rough surface may not necessarily be normal to the tangential surface. 3. Roller, rocker, smooth guide, or slider ideally eliminate the frictional force. That is the supports cannot provide the resistance to motion in the tangential direction. 4. Pin connection provides support force in any direction normal to the pin axis. If the joint is not free to turn, a resisting couple may also be supported. 3.1 FBD

6 3.1 FBD

7 Remarks 5. The built-in / fixed support of the beam is capable of supporting the axial force, the shear force, and the bending moment. 6. Gravitational force is a kind of distributed non-contact force. The resultant single force is the weight acted through C.M. towards the center of the earth. 7. Remote action force has the same overall effects on a rigid body as direct contact force of equal magnitude and direction. 8. On the FBD, the force exerted on the body to be isolated by the body to be removed is indicated. 9. Sense of the force exerted on the FBD by the removed bodies opposes the movement which would occur if those bodies were removed. 3.1 FBD

8 Remarks 10. If the correct sense cannot be known at first place, the sense of the scalar component is arbitrarily assigned. Upon computation, a negative algebraic sign indicates that the correct sense is opposite to that assigned. 3.1 FBD

9 Construction of FBD 1. Make decision which body or system is to be isolated. That system will usually involve the unknown quantities. 2. Draw complete external boundary of the system to completely isolate it from all other contacting or attracting bodies. 3. All forces that act on the isolated body by the removed contacting and attracting bodies are represented on the isolated body diagram. Forces should be indicated by vector arrows, each with its magnitude, direction, and sense. Consistency of the unknowns must be carried throughout the calculation. 4. Assign the convenient coordinate axes. Only after the FBD is completed should the governing equations be applied. 3.1 FBD

10 3.1 FBD

11 Note 1. Include as much as possible the system in FBD while the unknowns are still being revealed. 2. Internal forces to a rigid assembly of members do not influence the values of the external reactions. And so the external response of the mechanism as a whole would be unchanged. 3. Include the weights of the members on FBD. 4. Try to get the correct sense of unknown vectors by visualizing the motion of the whole system when the supports are pretended to disappear. The correct sense will oppose the motion s direction. 5. Follow the action of force prototypes in determining the forces acted by the removed bodies. 3.1 FBD

22 3.2 2-D Equilibrium Conditions A body is in equilibrium if all forces and moments applied to it are in balance. In scalar form, F = 0 F = 0 M = 0 x y O The x-y coordinate system and the moment point O can be chosen arbitrarily. Complete equilibrium in 2-D motion must satisfy all three equations. However, they are independent to each other. That is, equilibrium may only be satisfied in some generalized coordinates. System in equilibrium may stay still or move with constant velocity. In both cases, the acceleration is zero D Eqilibrium Conditions

23 Categories of equilibrium Ch. 3: Equilibrium Some equations are automatically satisfied and so contribute nothing in solving the problems D Eqilibrium Conditions

24 Weights of the members negligible Equilibrium of a body under the action of two force only: The forces must be equal, opposite, and collinear D Eqilibrium Conditions

25 Equilibrium of a body under the action of three force only: The lines of action of the three forces must be concurrent. The only exception is when the three forces are parallel. The system may be reduced to the three-force member by successive addition of the known forces. If all forces are concurrent, then the equilibrium statement calls for the closure of the polygon of forces D Eqilibrium Conditions

26 Alternative Equilibrium Equations Three independent equilibrium conditions: F = 0 M = 0 M = 0 x A B ( AB x-direction) D Eqilibrium Conditions

27 Alternative Equilibrium Equations Three independent equilibrium conditions: M = 0 M = 0 M = 0 A B C A, B, and C are not on the same straight line D Eqilibrium Conditions

28 Constraints and Statical Determinacy The equilibrium equations may not always solve all unknowns in the problem. Simply put, if #unknowns (including geometrical variables) > #equations, then we cannot solve it. This is because the system has more constraints than necessary to maintain the equilibruim. This is call statically indeterminate system. Extra equations, from force-deformation material properties, must also be applied to solve the redundant constraints D Eqilibrium Conditions
