  • Forces in Truss Members

    ByAnthony

    Objective To find and familiarize the stresses in the truss due to an externally applied load, and to see how geometry affects to stresses in the truss. Finally, the last goal of this experiment was to become familiar with strain gauge measurements. Known & Assumptions: Materials: The materials required: The triangular trusses Tinius Olsen Testing…
