1. In mathematics and engineering, systems of equations or structures where the number of unknowns equals the number of independent equations, allowing for a unique solution
The engineer analyzed the determinate systems to ensure structural stability.
O engenheiro analisou os sistemas determinados para garantir a estabilidade estrutural.
2. In mechanics and statics, structural systems that can be completely analyzed using equilibrium equations alone without needing compatibility conditions
Determinate systems have reactions that can be found using only the equations of static equilibrium.
Sistemas determinados têm reações que podem ser encontradas usando apenas as equações de equilíbrio estático.
