Pinned Joint Model

Pinned Joint Model

SPECIFICATION:

Model consists of hinged. Model will be able to demonstrate the qualitative behavior of the truss under load. As are very flexible, a compression members will easily it`s bucking i.e. It will curve of plain. The tension member however remains straight and tight. The student will therefore have a visual picture of the type of stresses i.e. Compressive or tensile that member of truss will carry under various positive of the load. In case of pinned joint truss, the student will be able to observe that angle between members at each joint undergo a small change.
