Truss Analysis Using Method of Sections by Shashank Tiwari is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The method of sections is an equilibrium-based technique for analyzing trusses. It involves imagining a cut through the truss to divide it into sections. Each section must be in static equilibrium for the whole truss to be stable. To use the method, an engineer first determines support reactions, then selects a section to analyze using the three equations of equilibrium to solve for unknown member forces. Points where several force lines meet are useful for determining an equation with a single unknown.
