INTRODUCTION
Mechanics of Materials 1
Lecturer: Dr. Vui Van Cao
Objectives:
Strength conditions: no failure – ultimate limit state
Rigidity conditions: no extra deformation –
serviceability limit state
Stability conditions: retain the initial deformation state

Hinged (pin) support: this support carry shear and axial forces
but not moment between different members. The hinged
support allows rotation of the support point but the two
displacements are equal zero or: uA = 0; vA = 0 and ϕA ≠ 0.

Spring supports: These supports are like the previous but with
the difference that they are not ideally rigid but with some real
stiffness. The spring has a stiffness constant c equals to the force
caused by displacement d = 1.

1.4 MODELLING
The main idea of this idealization is to make a mathematical
model of the real construction to be convenient for analysis and
calculation. After we know the idealization of different joints
and supports, we will take care about whole structure
idealization. To make this we follow the middle axis of the
elements of the structure.
In the following figure are shown some real and idealized
structures:
