Name: Matrix Methods for Mechanical Systems: A Small Planar Truss
ID: m10147
Language: English (en)
Summary: Continuing with discussion of matrix methods for solving mechanical problems, we consider a simple swing. Using the method developed in the uniaxial problem, we encode the physics of the problem into matrices. Gaussian elimination leaves us with a singular matrix. We discuss the implications of this, and hint at possible ways to obtain a solution when the S matrix is singular.
Subject: Mathematics and Statistics, Science and Technology
Keywords: biaxial testing problem, big O, pseudo inverse, pseudo-inverse, small planar truss, unstable mode
