Problem 642
Find the maximum deflection for the cantilever beam loaded as shown in Figure P-642 if the cross section is 50 mm wide by 150 mm high. Use E = 69 GPa.
Problem 639
The downward distributed load and an upward concentrated force act on the cantilever beam in Fig. P-639. Find the amount the free end deflects upward or downward if E = 1.5 × 106 psi and I = 60 in4.
Problem 636
The cantilever beam shown in Fig. P-636 has a rectangular cross-section 50 mm wide by h mm high. Find the height h if the maximum deflection is not to exceed 10 mm. Use E = 10 GPa.
Generally, the tangential deviation t is not equal to the beam deflection. In cantilever beams, however, the tangent drawn to the elastic curve at the wall is horizontal and coincidence therefore with the neutral axis of the beam. The tangential deviation in this case is equal to the deflection of the beam as shown below.
Problem 621
Determine the value of EIδ midway between the supports for the beam shown in Fig. P-621. Check your result by letting a = 0 and comparing with Prob. 606. (Apply the hint given in Prob. 620.)
