Manipulatives in Engineering Statics: Supplementing Analytical Techniques with Physical Models
In order to assist students, gain conceptual understanding of internal forces, a physical manipulative of a truss was developed in order to help students visualize, feel, and analyze the behavior of the material being manipulated. The purpose of this qualitative study was to understand how a physical manipulative of a truss contributed to the conceptual understanding of truss analysis in static...
متن کاملMechanix: A Sketch-Based Tutoring and Grading System for Free-Body Diagrams
fundamental engineering concepts through a course in statics. Statics problems usually require the student to draw planar truss and other free-body diagrams (FBDs). In civil and mechanical engineering, visual and spatial thoughts are essential for the correct absorption of fundamental concepts. By relying on visual aids as opposed to only using the verbal channel of acquiring knowledge, the cog...
متن کاملAlgebraic graph statics
This paper presents a general, non-procedural, algebraic approach to graphical analysis of structures. Using graph theoretical properties of reciprocal graphs, the geometrical relation between the form and force diagrams used in graphic statics is written algebraically. These formulations have been found to be equivalent to the equilibrium equations used in matrix analysis of planar, self-stres...
متن کاملCauses and Consequences of Nonuniqueness in an Elastic/Perfectly-Plastic Truss
A complete solution to collapse is given for a three-bar symmetric truss made of an elastic/perfectly-plastic material, using linear statics and kinematics, and the solution is found to be partially nonunique in the range of contained plastic deformation. The introduction of a first-order deviation from symmetry and/or the inclusion of first-order nonlinear terms in the equilibrium equations is...
متن کاملStructural optimization using graphic statics
This paper presents a method for structural optimization of discrete trusses using Graphic Statics. As opposed to traditional structural optimization techniques, which are typically conducted by manipulating the geometry of the structure (the form diagram), the approach presented in this paper establishes a Graphic Statics solution to the problem, where structural optimization is conducted usin...
