Abstract

Some simple hinge trusses in the plain are considered. Generally speaking, they are statically determinate. However, under certain choice of free (not fastened) hinges they allow internal stress. The question of uniqueness of the positions of free hinges, provided the certain self stress and the positions of fastened hinges are known, is investigated.
