A member pinned at only two ends with no intermediate load is treated as a two-force member. Otherwise, retain all pin components and moments required by equilibrium.
Diagrams are schematic equilibrium models. Member lines do not show elastic deformation, buckling, connection flexibility, or second-order effects.
Model scope and verification
Use the displayed units and idealizations, then verify the governing balance or compatibility equation before interpreting the result.
