Prestressed Structures: Internal Forces and Displacements

This lecture covers the analysis of deformable structures, focusing on determining internal forces and displacements in hyperstatic systems. The instructor explains the process step by step, from expressing equilibrium to solving coupled equations. The lecture also delves into the concept of prestressed structures, discussing how internal loads are generated and reduced in bars. Additionally, the lecture explores the importance of wheel spokes tension in optimizing wheel performance and stability. Various resources and examples are provided to aid in understanding the topics thoroughly.
