Chp 7: Flex Cables Docsity.com Recall Chp10 Introduction • Examine in Detail Two Important Types Of Engineering Structures: 1. BEAMS - usually long, straight, prismatic members designed to support loads applied at various points along the member 2. CABLES - flexible members capable of withstanding only tension, designed to support concentrated or distributed loads Docsity.com Concentrated Loads (2)  Consider entire cable as a free-body  Slopes of cable at A and B are NOT known  FOUR unknowns (i.e., Ax, Ay, Bx, By) are involved and the equations of equilibrium are NOT sufficient to determine the reactions. Docsity.com Concentrated Loads (3)  To Obtain an additional equation • Consider equilibrium of cable-section AD • Assume that CoOrdinates of SOME point D, (x,y), on the cable have been Determined (e.g., by measurement)  Then the added Eqn: ∑ = 0DM ( ) 33221103 xPxPxPLBdBM yxA −−−+==∑  With pt-D info, the FOUR Equilibrium Eqns ( ) xxx BAF +==∑ 01̀ ( ) 12102 PPPBAF yyy ++++==∑ ( ) ( ) xAyAxxPM yxD −−−==∑ 1104 Docsity.com Concentrated Loads (4)  The 4 Eqns Yield Ax & Ay  Can Now Work our Way Around the Cable to Find VERTICAL DISTANCE (y-CoOrd) For ANY OTHER point 2 yields02 yM C =∑ yxyx TTFF , yields 0,0 == ∑∑  Example  Consider Pt C2 constantcos === xx ATT θ known known known UNknown known known known Docsity.com Example  Concentrated Loads • Determine two reaction force components at A from solution of two equations formed from taking the entire cable as a free-body and summing moments about E: ( ) ( ) ( ) 333 OR 06606020 041512306406020 :0 −=− =+− =+++− =∑ yx yx yx E AA AA AA M Docsity.com Example  Concentrated Loads • Next take Cable Section ABC as a Free- Body, and Sum the Moments about Point C  Recall from ΣME ( ) 126OR 0610305 :0 =+ =+−− =∑ yx yx C AA AA M 333 −=− yx AA  Solving 2-Eqns in 2-Unknowns for Ax & Ay kips 5 kips 18 = −= y x A A Docsity.com Example  Concentrated Loads  Determine elevation of B by considering AB as a free-body and summing moments about B.  Similarly, Calc elevation at D using ABCD as a free-body ( ) ( ) 020518:0 =−=∑ BB yM ft 56.5−=By ( ) ( ) ( ) ( ) 0121562554518 :0 =++−− =∑ D D y M ft83.5+=Dy Docsity.com Example  Concentrated Loads • Evaluate maximum slope and maximum tension which occur in the segment with the STEEPEST Slope (large θ); DE in this case  Use yD to Determine Geometry of tanθ 15 17.14tan =θ °= 4.43θ  Employ the Just-Determined θ to Find Tmax θcos kips 18 max =T kips 8.24max =T Docsity.com Distributed Loads on Cables  For a negligible- Weight Cable carrying a Distributed Load of Arbitrary Profile a) The cable hangs in shape of a CURVE b) INTERNAL force is a tension force directed along the TANGENT to the curve x y Docsity.com Distributed Loads (2)  Consider the Free-Body for a portion of cable extending from LOWEST point C to given point D.
