The Comparison of the Cantilever Truss Node Displacement Calculation Methods

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this paper, some popular software, such as structural mechanics solver, ANSYS and SAP2000 are used to calculate the deformation of truss structure under statics loading. This deformation can also be handy calculated by the principle of virtual work of structural mechanics. By comparing the calculated results with the experimental data, we can test the accuracy of these methods, especially when the joints in a truss structure are modeled as hinge joints or rigid joints. The calculated results show difference of the different modeling is very slight. The accuracy of hand computation is also satisfied compared with the results of software.
