Description

| Material | Modulus of elasticity | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Geometry | Cross-section | bar AB: moment inertia | ||
| bars AC & AD: moment inertia | ||||
| bar AE: moment inertia | ||||
| Boundary conditions | Point A | Simple support | ||
| Points D, E, B | Fixed support | |||
| Loads | in point G | |||
| on bar AB | ||||
Note: the shortening is modelled as a temperature load in Diamonds. A shortening of 6,52mm corresponds to a temperature decrease of 163°C.
