Statically Indeterminate Systems - II Flashcards
1
Q
What is the compatibility of displacements?
A
Displacements are said to be compatible when the deformed members of a loaded structure continue to fit together
2
Q
What is the formula for the thermal expansion?
A
Thermal Displacement = Thermal Expansion Coefficient * Change in Temperature * Length of Part
3
Q
What is the formula for a part thermally expanding between two fixed supports?
A
Thermal Expansion Coefficient * Change in Temperature * Length of Part = - (Reactionary Force * Length) / (Elastic Modulus * Area)
