Mechanics and Structural Analysis

  1. The degree of static indeterminacy, Ns, and the degree of kinematic indeterminacy, Nk, for the plane frame shown below, assuming axial deformations to be negligible, are given by
    1. Ns = 6 and Nk = 11
    2. Ns = 6 and Nk = 6
    3. Ns = 4 and Nk = 6
    4. Ns = 4 and Nk = 4
Correct Option: C

NS = DSE + DSI
DSE = 7 – 3 = 4
DSI = 0
∴ NS = 4
Nk = 3 + 3 + 3 + 0 + 1 + 1 = 11
When we assume negligible axial deformation,
Nk = 11 – 5 = 6
