Structures
Muhtasari
From a spider's web to a suspension bridge, structures are arrangements of material designed to carry loads without collapsing. Understanding how forces travel through a structure, and how a clever shape can carry far more than a lump of the same material, is one of the most powerful ideas in design and technology, and it explains everything from why a cardboard box is rigid to why a roof truss is full of triangles.
This note classifies structures as shell, frame or mass, and as natural or manufactured. It explains static and dynamic loads, the five forces that act on structures (tension, compression, shear, bending and torsion), and the reinforcement methods, triangulation and corrugation, that let designers make structures strong, stiff and light at the same time.
Malengo

- show knowledge of static and dynamic loads
- understand forces that act on structures: - tension - compression - shear - bending - torsion
- show knowledge of reinforcement methods used in structures: - triangulation - corrugation.

- Which type of structure relies on a thin outer skin and its shape for strength? A. Mass structure B. Frame structure C. Shell structure D. Triangulated structure Answer: C
- A dynamic load is one that: A. Never changes and stays at rest B. Moves, changes or is applied suddenly C. Only acts downwards D. Is always smaller than a static load Answer: B
- When a shelf sags under the weight of books, the bottom surface of the shelf is mainly in: A. Compression B. Tension C. Torsion D. Shear Answer: B
- Why does triangulation make a framework rigid? A. Triangles use more material than squares B. A triangle's shape is fixed by the length of its sides, so its angles cannot change C. Triangles are heavier than rectangles D. Triangles can be folded flat Answer: B
- How does corrugating a flat sheet increase its stiffness? A. By adding extra material to the sheet B. By increasing the effective depth of the sheet so it resists bending C. By making the sheet thinner D. By making the sheet heavier Answer: B
