Descriptive Techniques: Objective vs. Subjective Styles

Types of Description

Objective description is primarily factual, omitting any attention to the writer, especially with regards to the writer’s feelings. Imagine that a robotic camera is observing the subject; such a camera has absolutely no attachment or reaction to what is being observed. For example: The kitchen table is rectangular, seventy-two inches long and thirty inches wide.

Subjective description, on the other hand, includes attention to both the subject described and the writer’s reactions

Stability of Equilibrium and Buckling Analysis of Struts and Columns

Stability of Equilibrium and Buckling Analysis

Z

Ch.7 notesStability of Equilibrium – Consider a slight displacement from the equilibrium position of a rigid weightless bar. The equation -(kLsinΘ)(LcosΘ)-P(LsinΘ)=0 simplifies to P=kLcosΘ or P=kL. Three cases are considered:

  1. If P < kL, the bar force restores the position.
  2. If P = kL, the spring force cannot restore the position, and Pc=kL is the critical load.
  3. When P > Pc, the bar collapses.

Consider an imperfect system: kL(sinΘ-sinΘ0)(LcosΘ)
