How do I find static and kinematic indeterminacy of structure easily?
Are there any simplifications or shortcuts that I can use to easily calculate the static and kinematic indeterminacy of a structure?
Yes, there are certain rules of thumb you can use to quickly determine the degree of indeterminacy in a structure. For example, a structure with n members cannot be indeterminate if it has exactly 2n supports. In the same way, a structure with n members and 2n-j support reactions cannot be kinematically indeterminate if it contains j redundant members.
