Ex 5

This document contains an exercise with 4 structural mechanics problems to solve using Castigliano's theorem. The problems involve determining displacements of joints in truss structures given loads and properties of the members. Members are assumed to be pin connected. The first problem asks to find the horizontal displacement of joint C. The second asks to use Castigliano's second theorem to find displacements at joint B. The third asks to find the vertical displacement of joint A. And the fourth asks to find the vertical displacement of joint C.

Exercise (5)

(1) Determine the horizontal displacement of joint C. Assume


20 KN
the members are pin connected at their end points. Take A =
200 mm2, and E = 200 GPa for each member. Use Castigliano’s
theorem.

40 K
(2) Use Castigliano’s second theorem to determine the
horizontal and vertical components of the deflection at joint
B of the trusses shown in the figure.
50 K

(3) Determine the vertical displacement of joint A. The cross-


sectional area of each member is indicated in the figure.
Assume the members are pin connected at their end points. E =
29(10)3ksi. Use Castigliano’s theorem.

6K
12 K

(4) Determine the vertical displacement of joint C.


Assume the members are pin connected at their end
points. AE is constant. Use Castigliano’s theorem.
