RITTER SECTION METHOD (Trafters) This video uses an example to demonstrate how to calculate member forces using the Ritter section method. The Ritter section method, or Ritter's section method, shows how to cut through trusses to visualize and calculate the member forces in the free section. 📒 My TM1 formula collection (free): https://www.ingtutor.de/technische-me... 👩‍💻 My TM1 online course: https://www.ingtutor.de/kurse/ Summary: To determine the members of a truss using the Ritter section method, you first need to calculate the support reactions. Then, you cut through three members in the truss. This yields two free-body diagrams. It's best to continue with the "easier" free section. There, you set up the three equilibrium conditions and then rearrange each one according to the desired member force. Since the member forces in a free section are always assumed to be tension members (the member forces always point away from the section), you can tell at the end whether they are tension members or compression members simply by looking at the sign. 00:00 Ritter cut method 00:09 Ritter cut definition 00:34 Rules for the Ritter cut 02:30 Exercise (example) 04:30 Determining support forces 05:46 Online course 06:37 Cutting with the Ritter cut 08:27 Determining member forces 15:51 Concluding remarks 16:35 Thank you :) https://www.ingtutor.de
