we may ignore the weights of the members.
Since
each member is pin jointed and is considered
weightless, the condition
of equilibrium
of the member requires that
the pair of forces
coming from the
joints must be equal and opposite. Hence, each member can transmit forces only

For very small A BC (as compared

the bar AB extends A AB in length, and the

Figure 9.14 shows two features that cannot be accommodated


by the viscoelasticmodels discussed in Sec. 9.6: the nonlinearity
of the stress-strainrelationship
and the insensitivity of the material
to strain rate. The former
can be corrected by
nonlinear springs. The latter is made clear by reference
to Fig. 9.15.

Fig. 13.9 that the errors
caused by ignoring the residual strains are enormous.
It is important to know
the

The longitudinal stretch ratios from the no-load to the homeostatic
condition
measured on the specimens
of Fig. 13.9 is about 1.35. No change in the ratio was
