Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a beam with defined global coordinates, derive the local coordinate system using a rotation matrix.

💡 Hint: Visualizing the rotation graphically aids in understanding.

Question 2

A load of 1000 N is distributed unevenly across a truss with both local and global analyses. How would inaccuracies in this distribution impact the truss?

💡 Hint: Think about the consequences telling a structural story with numbers.
