Because the provision of static joints adds to the stresses on a component, requiring a larger cross section, which increases the cost of the component, should the static joints be avoided? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Static joints cannot be avoided completely. Interior joints are static joints because the interior components are not subject to movement. Additionally, most structural connections must be static joints. Movement stresses are taken into account in their design. However, where possible, movement joints should be preferred over static joints.
