Ok , i can understand what you have explained . But for this type of question ,haruspex said:
No, as long as the points are along the line of action they will all yield the same answer.fonseh said:
The cut section method in truss is a structural analysis technique used to determine the internal forces and reactions in a truss structure. It involves cutting the truss at a specific location and solving for the unknown forces at that section.
The cut section method is different from other methods, such as the method of joints and method of sections, because it focuses on a specific section of the truss instead of the entire structure. This allows for a more efficient and accurate analysis of the internal forces.
One advantage of the cut section method is that it can be used to analyze complex truss structures with multiple members and joints. It also allows for the determination of internal forces at a specific section, which can be useful for designing and optimizing truss structures.
Yes, the cut section method is limited to analyzing statically determinate truss structures, meaning that all the external reactions and internal forces can be determined using equations of static equilibrium. It also assumes that the truss members are only subjected to axial forces, neglecting any bending or shear effects.
The cut section method can be applied in the design and analysis of various structures, such as bridges, roofs, and towers, which utilize truss systems. It can also be used to assess the stability and integrity of existing truss structures and make necessary repairs or modifications.
