 Static Force Analysis

Principle of Superposition:
The effect of forces is the sum (vector sum whenever
applicable) of effect of each individual force considered
separately.
• Load torque increase by a factor increases the driving
torque by the same factor.
• Change in weight of the members during design stage
may be considered separately.
• Influence factors, considering unit loads may be
calculated once and used under changing conditions.
