What is a truss? what separates a truss from a frame and other forms of rigid bodies?

The application of force is the main difference between truss and frame.

Explanation:

Truss:

Truss is a collection of beams,which use to handle the tensile and   compression loads . That collection of beams creates rigid structure.

The load on the truss will be acting always at the  at the hinge. Truss is     widely used in the construction areas.                

Frame:

       Like truss, it is also a combination of beams and used to handle the loads. The main difference between truss and frame is the application of load. In the frame load can apply at the any point of the member of frame along  with hinge.

Truss are connected by pin joint and can not transfer moment ,on the other hand frames are connected by rigid joint like welding so frame can transfer moment.

Truss and frame both forms a rigid structure and is used in the construction areas.
