statically determinate structure
Engineering term for a structure whose internal forces and reactions can be determined solely from equilibrium equations. Contrasts with 不静定構造 (statically indeterminate structure).
See also: 不静定構造
This bridge is a statically determinate structure, so the calculations are relatively simple.
静定構造と不静定構造の違いを説明してください。
Please explain the difference between statically determinate and indeterminate structures.
Statically indeterminate structure; requires additional compatibility conditions beyond equilibrium for analysis.
statically indeterminate structure; redundant structure
Compound of 静定 (seitei, 'statically determinate') and 構造 (kōzō, 'structure'). The term is a direct translation of the English engineering concept.
