A symmetrical shallow structure is made of eight equal truss members, which are embedded into hinge supports. The structure is loaded by a concentrated force and alternatively by imposed nodal deformation over the critical limit point when the snap-through occurs. Imposed nodal deformation is used in RFEM 5 and RSTAB 8 to obtain the full equilibrium path of the snap-through. Vlastní tíha se v tomto příkladu nezohledňuje. Determine the relationship between the actual loading force and the deflection, considering large deformation analysis. Evaluate the load factor at the given deflections.
A truss structure consists of three rods (one steel and two copper) joined by a rigid member. The structure is loaded by a concentrated force and a temperature difference. Celkový průhyb konstrukce je stanoven bez zohlednění vlastní tíhy.
A structure made of I-profile trusses is supported on both ends by spring sliding supports and loaded by transversal forces. Vlastní tíha se v tomto příkladu nezohledňuje. Determine the deflection of the structure, the bending moment, the normal force in the given test points, and the horizontal deflection of the spring supports.
