Static Analysis: Rolling Frame on Square Bracket

This lecture covers the static analysis of a rolling frame on a square bracket using the Lavalex method and virtual work principles. It explains how to determine the equilibrium equations and constraints, considering bilateral links and bond strengths. The instructor demonstrates the step-by-step process of expressing the system in different reference frames and solving for unknown displacements. The lecture emphasizes the importance of maintaining equilibrium and compatibility of displacements to ensure stability. Various equations and relationships between forces and displacements are derived to analyze the system with one degree of freedom. The lecture concludes with practical examples and applications of the principles discussed.
