Determine the Type of Stress in Each Member of a Truss - Wolfram Demonstrations Project

Determine the Type of Stress in Each Member of a Truss - Wolfram Demonstrations Project: Based on your understanding of force balances guess whether a selected member of the truss is under compression under tension or is a zero member. Set the diagonal and vertical point loads with sliders. The reaction forces (blue) are calculated and displayed on the truss. Select guess force on a member use the popup menu select a member (from 1 to 13) and then select compression tensi;
