Equilibrium of a Rigid Body

Checking Force Balance in 3D Structures

Description

Checking force balance in 3D structures is a key step when a system is at rest. The vector and scalar equations of equilibrium are used to test whether a body is stable and will not collapse or fall apart. These equations give a clear way to study the forces acting on a body.

The vector equations...

考虑一个放置在地面上的三脚架;其支腿在A处通过球窝关节连接,另一端B位于地面上。

当作用在腿部的合力与合力矩为零时,称该腿部处于平衡状态,可通过平衡方程加以表达。

由于腿部处于平衡状态,因此满足矢量和标量的平衡方程。

根据平衡的矢量方程,作用在腿部的所有外力的矢量和必须为零。所有力偶矩以及所有力对任意一点的力矩的矢量和也必须等于零。

根据标...
