    Kinematic Indeterminacy of Structures
    A structure is said to be kinematically indeterminate if the displacement components of its
    joints cannot be determined by compatibility conditions alone. In order to evaluate
    displacement components at the joints of these structures, it is necessary to consider the
    equations of static equilibrium. i.e. no. of unknown joint displacements over and above the
    compatibility conditions will give the degree of kinematic indeterminacy.

    Fixed beam : Kinematically determinate :

    Simply supported beam Kinematically indeterminate

    Any joint – Moves in three directions in a plane structure


    Two displacements x in x direction, y in y direction,
    rotation about z axis as shown.

    Roller Support :
    r = 1, y = 0, & x exist – DOF = 2 e=1

    Hinged Support :
    r = 2, x = 0, y = 0, exists – DOF = 1 e = 2

    Fixed Support :
    r = 3, x = 0, y = 0, = 0 DOF = 0 e=3

    i.e. reaction components prevent the displacements no. of restraints = no.


    of reaction components.
    Degree of kinematic indeterminacy :
    Pin jointed structure :Every joint – two displacements components and no
    rotation
    Dk = 2j – e where, e = no. of equations of compatibility
    = no. of reaction components

    Rigid Jointed Structure : Every joint will have three displacement components,
    two displacements and one rotation.
    Since, axial force is neglected in case of rigid jointed structures, it is assumed
    that the members are inextensible & the conditions due to inextensibility
    of members will add to the numbers of restraints. i.e to the ‘e’ value.

    Dk = 3j – e where, e = no. of equations of compatibility


    = no. of reaction components +
    constraints due to in extensibility
    Example 1 : Find the static and kinematic indeterminacies
    r = 4, m = 2, j = 3

    Ds = (3m + r) –

    3j
    = (3 x 2 + 4) – 3 x 3 = 1
    Dk = 3j – e
    =3x3–6=3
    i.e. rotations at A,B, & C i.e. a, b & c
    are the displacements.
    (e = reaction components + inextensibility conditions = 4 + 2 = 6)

    Example 2 :
    Ds = (3m+r) – 3j
    m = 3, r = 6, j = 4
    Ds = (3 x 3 + 6) – 3 x 4 = 3

    Dk = 3j – e e = no. of reaction
    components + conditions of inextensibility

    = 6+3 = 9
    Dk = 3 x 4 – 9 = 3 i.e. rotation b, c & sway.
    Example 3 :
    Ds = (3m + r) – 3j
    r = 6, m = 10, j = 9

    Ds = (3 x 10 + 6) – 3 x 9 = 9

    Conditions of inextensibility :
    Joint : B C E F H I
    1 1 2 2 2 2 Total = 10

    Reaction components r=6

    e = 10 + 6 = 16

    Dk = 3j – e
    = 3 x 9 – 16 = 11
