Key to structural analysis
1) Draw a simple sketch of the isolated
structure, dimensions, angles and x-y
coordinate system
2) Draw and label all loads on the structure
3) Draw and label reactions at each support
Structural Analysis Problem
• Calculate the internal
member forces on this
nutcracker truss if the
finger is pushing down
with a force of eight
newtons.

Step 3: Draw and label all
reactions at each support
• The truss is in
equilibrium so there
must reactions at the
two supports. They are
named Ra and Rb.

Method of Joints

Use the Method of Joints to calculate the
internal member forces of the truss
1. Isolate one joint from the truss
2. Draw a free body diagram of this joint
3. Separate every force and reaction into x
and y components
4. Solve the equilibrium equations
5. Repeat for all joints

Step 4: Solve y-axis equilibrium equations
•
The bridge is not moving, so ΣFy = 0
•
From the table,
ΣFy = 0 = 4N + Fac * sin70˚
•
Fac = ( -4N / sin70˚ ) = -4.26N
•
Internal Fac has magnitude 4.26N in
compression

Step 4: Solve x-axis equilibrium equations
•
The bridge is not moving, so ΣFx = 0
•
From the table,
ΣFx = 0 = Fab + (Fac * cos70˚)
Fab = - ( -4.26N * cos70˚ ) = 1.45N
•
Internal Fab has magnitude 1.45N in tension

Step 4: Solve y-axis equilibrium equations
•
The bridge is not moving, so ΣFy = 0
•
From the table,
ΣFy = -8.00N + 4.00N + (Fbc * sin290˚) = 0
Fbc = -4.26N
•
Internal Fbc has magnitude 4.26N in
compression

Step 4: Solve x-axis equilibrium equations
•
The bridge is not moving, so ΣFx = 0
•
From the table,
ΣFx = 1.46N + (Fbc * cos290˚) = 0
Fbc = -4.26N
•
This verifies the ΣFy = 0 equilibrium
equation and also the symmetry property
