    Equilibrium of A Rigid Body: F2 F3 F3 F2

    Uploaded by

    santhiyaperemel
    The document discusses the conditions for rigid body equilibrium. It states that for a rigid body to be in equilibrium, the sum of all external forces acting on it must equal zero, and the sum of all external moments about any point must equal zero. It also discusses free body diagrams and how they are used to represent only the external forces acting on an isolated body. Common support reactions like fixed, pin, and roller joints are also examined. Finally, examples of calculating support reactions on beams and frames using the equations of equilibrium are provided.

    Equilibrium of a rigid body

    RECALL: ... Effect of Forces on Motion:

    Particle Rigid Body

    F2 F3 F2 F3

    F1
    F1

    If F  0 ... Translation If M  0 ... Rotation

    Conditions for Rigid-Body Equilibrium

    F  0

    Mo  0

    Where:
     Forces are “external forces”
    (body force, reaction force, applied force)
     Moment may be taken about any center of rotation “o”

    Free body diagrams (FBD)


    Remember ... Purpose of FBD:

    Space Diagram  Free Body Diagram

    - Physical connections - Applied forces


    - Applied forces - Reaction forces
    - Body - Body forces (i.e. Weight)
    - Geometry - Known and unknown forces

    Free Body Diagram Construction - “Recipe”

    1. Make a sketch of problem showing the geometry and connections (SPACE DIAGRAM).

    2. Make a CLEAR DECISION on which body to isolate.

    3. Draw this body separate from all other bodies.


    Represent on this FREE BODY all forces exerted ON IT by OTHER BODIES.
    - Known Force - line segment with arrow
    - Unknown Force - line segment (assume arrow)

    ** “MAGIC SCISSORS” ***


    Construct “best” set of coordinate axes for solution.

    Support Reactions

     To see the direction of reaction forces or moment


     check what movement is restricted.

    Equations of equilibrium (2 - D Systems)

    Fx  0

    Fy  0

    Mo  0

    3-Equations.... solve for 3 Unknowns

    Alternative sets of Equations

    Fa  0
    MB  0
    MC  0

    Points B and C cannot be on a line  to line a

    MA  0
    MB  0
    MC  0

     A, B, and C cannot lie on the same line

    Recall ... Procedure for Analysis

    Given: Sketch problem with given data


    (SPACE DIAGRAM)

    Required: State the question ..........look for # of ?

    Solution:
     DRAW AN FBD
     Establish a coordinate axis - direction and rotation
     Determine x and y components of forces

    6
    ENGINEERING MECHANICS CME 1302

     State the Physics (Equilibrium):


    i) F = 0 (or Fx = 0, Fy = 0, Fz = 0)
    ii) Mo = 0
    - choice of “o” - where you know least
     Substitute into physics - “play your trump card”
     Solve Algebra - note significance of “negative sign”
     CHECK: unit consistency?
    Reasonable?
    Another approach?

    Example - 2-D Rigid Body Equilibrium

    Determine the magnitude of the reactions on the beam at A and B. Neglect the thickness of the
    beam.

    EXERCISE:
