STEPS FOR ANALYZING A FRAME OR MACHINE
{"Image DocumentName": "STEPS FOR ANALYZING A FRAME OR MACHINE", "Image ImageDescription": "1. Draw a 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. FAB. 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. Statics:The Next Generation (2nd Ed.)
