    How to calculate restoring forces/reactions for statically indeterminate linkage

    @ 3DDave Its a two tiered scissors lift platform. One of the two cross links of the top tier of the scissors lift platform is hinged at its upper end to the under of the top platform/table (and the second cross link of the same tier has a roller or wheel or bearing attached to its upper end...

    How to calculate restoring forces/reactions for statically indeterminate linkage

    Hi everyone, thanks for responding. the idea is that the link is held in the given position (at the angle made by link and the cable/the cable can be replaced by a link too, with the horizontal)and the roller support at the right, leading to a static equilibrium of the link. We could also...

    How to calculate restoring forces/reactions for statically indeterminate linkage

    Hi members, Rohan here and I am a Mechanical Engineer. Recently encountered a situation with a mechanism which could be compared conceptually to seemingly simple linkage where restoring forces for equilibrium need to be calculated. But after trying to solve for the unknown forces I found that...
