Values of forces determined in particular members are resultants of forces calculated in both stages for two intermediate statically determinate trusses. Each of the intermediate truss is defined by ...

THE continuous attack made during recent years on the problems of indeterminate structures and the heavy labours involved in all rational computations of such types necessitate the careful study of ...

Abstract: The problem due to the statically indeterminate contact forces arising in indeterminate frictional enveloping grasps is addressed. First, we show that the statical model for the contact ...

Abstract: Statically balanced spring mechanisms are used in many applications that support our daily lives. However, creating new designs is a challenging problem since the designer has to ...
