This lecture introduces the superposition principle, which allows obtaining the combined effect of multiple causes by simple addition in linear elastic systems. The instructor demonstrates the application of this principle on trusses and arches-and-cables, showing how to calculate the resulting forces and how the forces distribute within the structures.
