Indeternate Analyss Force Method The force (flexblty) ethod expresses the relatonshps between dsplaceents and forces that exst n a structure. Prary objectve of the force ethod s to deterne the chosen set of excess unknown forces and/or couples redundants. The nuber of redundants s equal to the degree of statc ndeternacy of the structure. Descrpton of the Force Method Procedure. Deterne the degree of statc ndeternacy. Nuber of releases* equal to the degree of statc ndeternacy are appled to the structure. Released structure s referred to as the prary structure. Prary structure ust be chosen such that t s geoetrcally stable and statcally deternate. Redundant forces should be carefully chosen so that the prary structure s easy to analyze 2 Also see pages 5 4 n your class notes. * Detals on releases are gven later n these notes. Force Method con t 2. Calculate errors (dsplaceents) at the prary structure redundants. These dsplaceents are calculated usng the ethod of vrtual forces. 3. Deterne dsplaceents n the prary structure due to unt values of redundants (ethod of vrtual forces). These dsplaceents are requred at the sae locaton and n the sae drecton as the dsplaceent errors deterned n step 2. 3 Force Method con t 4. Calculate redundant forces to elnate dsplaceent errors. Use superposton equatons n whch the effects of the separate redundants are added to the dsplaceents of the released structure. Dsplaceent superposton results n a set of n lnear equatons (n = nuber of releases) that express the fact that there s zero relatve dsplaceent at each release. 4
Force Method con t These copatblty equatons guarantee a fnal dsplaced shape consstent wth known support condtons,.e., the structure fts together at the n releases wth no relatve dsplaceents. 5. Hence, we fnd the forces on the orgnal ndeternate structure. They are the su of the correcton forces (redundants) and forces on the released structure. 5 () (2) (3) (3) Flexblty Analyss f (x R ) R R 2 = D D 2 + (R ) + f 2 (x R 2 ) (R 2 ) f 2 (x R ) f 22 (x R 2 ) 6 (4) f R f R D 0 2 2 f R f R D 0 2 22 2 2 Solve for R and R 2.
