In the analysis of trusses, the following assumptions are typically made:
1. The members of the truss are connected by frictionless pins, which allow for rotation but not translation at the joints. 2. The members of the truss are straight and do not deform under load. 3. The loads applied to the truss are applied only at the joints and are transferred through the members without any bending or twisting. 4. The truss is statically determinate, meaning that the forces in all the members can be determined using equilibrium equations.
