joints and their reactionary forces Flashcards
to memorize the different types of joints and their reactionary forces in both 2d and 3d.
cable (2d)
one unknown (F)
weightless link (2d)
one unknown(F along axis of link)
roller (2d)
one unknown(F perpendicular point of contact)
rocker (2d)
one unknown (F acts perpendicular point of contact)
smooth contacting surface (2d)
one unknown (F acts perpendicular point of contact)
roller or pin in confined smooth slot(2d)
one unknown (F acts perpendicular slot)
member pin connected to collar on smooth rod (2d)
one unknown (F acts perpendicular rod)
smooth pin or hinge (2d)
Two unknowns(Ax,Ay), or could make up resulting force Fcos(theta) Fsin(theta)
member fixed connected to collar on smooth rod (2d)
two unknowns(reactions are the couple moment, and the force perpendicular to rod)
fixed support (2d)
three unknowns(reactions are the couple moment and the two force components, or the couple moment an the magnitude and direction (theta) of the resulting force.
cable (3d)
one unknown(force which acts away from member in direction of cable)
smooth surface support (3d)
One unknown. (reaction is a force which acts perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact)
roller (3d)
One unknown. (reaction is a force which acts perpendicular to the surface at the point of contact.
ball and socket (3d)
three unknowns(the reactions are three rectangular force components)
single journal bearing (3d)
Four unknowns. (reactions are two force components, because a journal bearing allows movement along the axis of the shaft. couples not applied if supported elsewhere)
