L3: Statically Indeterminate Problems

Question 1

Answer 1

Question 2

Answer 2

Question 3

What is the Procedure for solving a statically indeterminate problem involving torsion

Answer 3

• Set up equilibrium equation
• Consider compatibility condition
• Use general torsion equation to link T and θ in each section of the bar

(Look at sign convention for torque)

Question 4

Answer 4

Question 5

Why do statically indeterminate problems occurs and how can they be resolved

Answer 5

• Statically indeterminate problems may occur due to redundant constraints or/and non-unifrom material properties
• Statically indeterminate problems can be resolved by taking into account compatibility of deformation
