AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating vertical and horizontal components at point D in a frame subject to sway. The user is seeking clarification on applying the principle of total moments, which includes moments before and after sway. Concerns are raised about the complexity introduced by applied forces at joints and the inclination of frame members AB and CD. Suggestions include disintegrating frame members at points of force application to simplify the analysis. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for a clear method to address the challenges posed by the frame's geometry and loading conditions.

hello there i have this question that seems quite compilcated, i was hoping some one could help me into solving it.

basically i have a frame that can be seen in the diagram, i have to work out the vertical and horizontal components at point D. i was curious as to how i can do it.

i know it works on the principles of useing total moments = moments before sway + a(moments after sway) but i am a little concerned with the applied forces being on the joints themselves, along with the incline of both AB and CD - which makes it harder to find the orgin of rotation.

any help would be appricated thanks

anyone?
 
if you are confused to disintegrate your frame member where a force on it you can cut your pins(joints) locations like in this http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/4594/problem1gq1.jpg

and consider as these cuts are so close to joints and then cont. as you solve cut in any point of member where there are normal, shear and internal moments are exist

Thread 'I need a concave mirror with a focal length length of 150 feet'
I need to cut down a 3 year old dead tree from top down so tree causes no damage with small pieces falling. I need a mirror with a focal length of 150 ft. 12" diameter to 36" diameter will work good but I can't think of any easy way to build it. Nothing like this for sale on Ebay. I have a 30" Fresnel lens that I use to burn stumps it works great. Tree service wants $2000.
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
