Lecture

Statical Determinacy and Equilibrium

Description

This lecture covers the concepts of statical and kinematical determinacy, including the number of degrees of freedom and constraints, isostatic and hyperstatic systems, and the analysis of equilibrium in 2D and 3D. The instructor explains the criteria for determining if a structure is statically determinate, indeterminate, or kinematically determinate, and provides examples to illustrate these concepts.
