An illustration from The Locomotive, 1867, leaf 107
we find that each unit length of the diagonal joint is subjected to the fol-lowing forces: (1) A horizontal stress of \ j) ^^^ ^i ^^^ (2) A vertical stress of ^ sin a. This state of things is indicated in the diagram given in Fig. 7. Having found how the actual stresses are disposed, several… … Fig. 7. tan h—{ijj cos a)^{p sin a) — ^ cotan a. If h be found from this equation, then (a + b) is the angle that the resultant force, X, makes with the diagonal joint. For example, if a = 60°, cotan a = 0.57735; .-. tan & = 0.28867, and 5=16° 06^ Hence (a+b)= 60° + lG°06= 76^ 06, which is the…
