I would like to have the following systems horizontally aligned (the misalignment is due to some of the equations having a fraction, others not). Basically, I want (for example) all the $q_1$ on the same line. Thanks in advance for your help!

Here it is the code

\begin{tcolorbox}[title={2. Calcolo $0+X\cdot a=b$}, colback=white,colframe=black!20,coltitle=black]
\eqal{&\hs{1}0&+X\cdot &\hs{1}a&=&\hs{1}b&\hs{.2}\implies&\hs{1}\delta\mathcal{L}^{ab}_{p/c,i}\\
&\left\{
\begin{aligned}
q_1^0&=0\\
q_2^0&=0\\
q_3^0&=0\\
q_4^0&=-\frac{T}{h}\\
P_1^0&=-\frac{TL}{h}\\
P_2^0&=0\\
P_3^0&=0\\
P_4^0&=\frac{TL}{h}
\end{aligned}
\right.&+X\cdot\hs{.2}
&\left\{
\begin{aligned}
q_1^a&=-\frac{1}{2L}\\
q_2^a&=\frac{1}{2L}\\
q_3^a&=-\frac{1}{2L}\\
q_4^a&=\frac{1}{2L}\\
P_1^a&=1\\
P_2^a&=-1\\    
P_3^a&=1\\
P_4^a&=-1
\end{aligned}
\right.&=\hs{.2}
&\left\{
\begin{aligned}
q_1^b&=-\frac{X}{2L}\\
q_2^b&=\frac{X}{2L}\\
q_3^b&=-\frac{X}{2L}\\
q_4^b&=-\frac{T}{h}+\frac{X}{2L}\\
 P_1^b&=-\frac{TL}{h}+X\\
 P_2^b&=-X\\
 P_3^b&=X\\
 P_4^b&=\frac{TL}{h}-X
 \end{aligned}
 \right.\notag
 &\hs{.2}&\hs{.2}\left\{
 \begin{aligned}
 \delta\mathcal{L}_{c1}^{ab}&=\frac{Lb}{Gs}\left(-\frac{1}{2L}\right)\left(-\frac{X}{2L}\right)\\
 \delta\mathcal{L}_{c2}^{ab}&=\frac{Lh}{Gs}\left(\frac{1}{2L}\frac{X}{2L}\right)\\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{c3}^{ab}&=\frac{Lb}{Gs}\left(-\frac{1}{2L}\right)\left(-\frac{X}{2L}\right)\\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{c4}^{ab}&=\frac{Lh}{Gs}\left(\frac{1}{2L}\right)\left(-\frac{T}{h}+\frac{X}{2L}\right)\\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p1}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left[1\left(-\frac{TL}{h}+X\right)\right]\\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p2}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left(-1\right)\left(-X\right)\\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p3}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left(1\cdot X\right)\\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p4}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left[-1\left(\frac{TL}{h}-X\right)\right]\\
 \end{aligned}
 \right.
 }
 \end{tcolorbox}

Please note \hs{X} is \hspace{Xcm} (a newcommand*) and \eqal{X} is \begin{eqnarray} \left{ \begin{aligned} X \end{aligned} \right. \end{eqnarray}

  • welcome to tex.se! what you try so far? please show this! it is not fun to retype your equations from scratch. help us to help you!

  • Right, I'm sorry but I was not sure how to paste the code. Here it is

  • thank you for code snippet, but i expect complete document beginning with \documentclass ... and ending with \end{document} with preamble loaded with only necessary package for compiling your code snippet. it seems that it contain errors, please check again.

Add phantoms:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{amsmath,array}

\newcommand{\phnf}{\vphantom{\left(\frac{A}{B}\right)}}

\begin{document}
\[
\begin{array}{
  @{}c
  @{}>{{}}c<{{}}
  @{}c
  @{}>{{}}c<{{}}
  @{}c
  @{}>{{}}c<{{}}
  @{}c
  @{}>{{}}c<{{}}
  @{}c
}
0 &+& X &\cdot& a&=& b &\implies&\delta\mathcal{L}^{ab}_{p/c,i} \\[4ex]
\begin{cases}
\begin{aligned}
q_1^0&=0 \phnf \\
q_2^0&=0 \phnf \\
q_3^0&=0 \phnf \\
q_4^0&=-\frac{T}{h} \phnf \\
P_1^0&=-\frac{TL}{h} \phnf \\
P_2^0&=0 \phnf \\
P_3^0&=0 \phnf \\
P_4^0&=\frac{TL}{h} \phnf
\end{aligned}
\end{cases}
&+& X &\cdot&
\begin{cases}
\begin{aligned}
q_1^a&=-\frac{1}{2L} \phnf \\
q_2^a&=\frac{1}{2L} \phnf \\
q_3^a&=-\frac{1}{2L} \phnf \\
q_4^a&=\frac{1}{2L} \phnf \\
P_1^a&=1 \phnf \\
P_2^a&=-1 \phnf \\    
P_3^a&=1 \phnf \\
P_4^a&=-1 \phnf
\end{aligned}
\end{cases}
&=&
\begin{cases}
\begin{aligned}
q_1^b&=-\frac{X}{2L} \phnf \\
q_2^b&=\frac{X}{2L} \phnf \\
q_3^b&=-\frac{X}{2L} \phnf \\
q_4^b&=-\frac{T}{h}+\frac{X}{2L} \phnf \\
P_1^b&=-\frac{TL}{h}+X \phnf \\
P_2^b&=-X \phnf \\
P_3^b&=X \phnf \\
P_4^b&=\frac{TL}{h}-X \phnf
\end{aligned}
\end{cases}
 &&
\begin{cases}
\begin{aligned}
\delta\mathcal{L}_{c1}^{ab}&=\frac{Lb}{Gs}\left(-\frac{1}{2L}\right)\left(-\frac{X}{2L}\right) \phnf \\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{c2}^{ab}&=\frac{Lh}{Gs}\left(\frac{1}{2L}\frac{X}{2L}\right) \phnf \\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{c3}^{ab}&=\frac{Lb}{Gs}\left(-\frac{1}{2L}\right)\left(-\frac{X}{2L}\right) \phnf \\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{c4}^{ab}&=\frac{Lh}{Gs}\left(\frac{1}{2L}\right)\left(-\frac{T}{h}+\frac{X}{2L}\right) \phnf \\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p1}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left[1\left(-\frac{TL}{h}+X\right)\right] \phnf \\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p2}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left(-1\right)\left(-X\right) \phnf \\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p3}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left(1\cdot X\right) \phnf \\
\delta\mathcal{L}_{p4}^{ab}&=\frac{L}{3EA}\left[-1\left(\frac{TL}{h}-X\right)\right] \phnf
\end{aligned}
\end{cases}
\end{array}
\]

\end{document}

And never ever use eqnarray.

It's up to you having a suitable line width to contain the thing.

  • Thank you very much!! I will fix my super-uber use of eqnarray asap :)
