    Idealized Connection Types
    Pinned (Hinged) Connection: Allows rotation about all axes but prevents translation. In idealized analysis, this connection transmits no moment between members, simplifying the structural model to determinate analysis.
    Fixed (Rigid) Connection: Prevents all relative translation and rotation. This forces moment continuity, rendering the structure [statically indeterminate](/entries/statically-indetermin…
