    Why Is Understanding Basic Concepts in Structural Analysis Challenging?

    I have a problem in understanding the very basic concept of Structural Analysis. Ironically, I can do the calculations swiftly! But when it comes to theories, I haven't got a clue. So, what is transverse stress, poisson ratio and all that? I know that many people would ask me to go and Google it...

    Single Degree of Freedom Equation of Motion(Newtons Second Law)

    Ive gone through every material that I have. Please correct me if I am wrong. Based on the rod(attached image), we can create and equation (Moment about point O = I\alpha). From my understanding, We can canceled out Moment about point O of rod's mass (mg*l/2) due to mass*acceleration effect on...

    Single Degree of Freedom Equation of Motion(Newtons Second Law)

    Homework Statement Hello guys. Really need your helps. When I construct an equation(moment about point O), do I have to include the rod's mass also? I've heard that I can neglect the rod's mass due to equilibrium equation. On the other hand, I've also heard that I can only neglect mass if the...
