Grid 4 Grid 3 Po 15 in Grid 1 Grid 2 10 in Figure 1: Problem 1 Schematic Problem 1 The truss (all joints are pinned) structure in figure 1 is made of members with cross sectional area A- 1 in2, with a linear elastic, homogeneous, isotropic material with an elastic modulus, E, 10E6 psi and a coefficient of thermal expansion. α-6E-6 op-1. The structure starts out at a uniform temperature of 65°F and is raised to a final temperature...
