Static Equilibrium Modeling

This lecture covers the modeling of static equilibrium using nodes, forces, and bars. It explains the characteristics of forces, the concept of bars in equilibrium, and the force diagram. The lecture also discusses the unit of measurement, force correspondence, Bow's notation, and the concept of force polygons. It delves into the sequence of forces, identification of action types in bars, and the roles of models in verifying static equilibrium feasibility.
