Solution to Problem 654 | Deflections in Simply Supported Beams
Problem 654
For the beam in Fig. P-654, find the value of EIδ at 2 ft from R2. (Hint: Draw the reference tangent to the elastic curve at R2.)
Problem 654
For the beam in Fig. P-654, find the value of EIδ at 2 ft from R2. (Hint: Draw the reference tangent to the elastic curve at R2.)
Problem 653
Compute the midspan value of EIδ for the beam shown in Fig. P-653. (Hint: Draw the M diagram by parts, starting from midspan toward the ends. Also take advantage of symmetry to note that the tangent drawn to the elastic curve at midspan is horizontal.)
The deflection δ at some point B of a simply supported beam can be obtained by the following steps:
Problem 629
Solve Prob. 628 if the sense of the couple is counterclockwise instead of clockwise as shown in Fig. P-628.
Problem 628
For the beam loaded with uniformly varying load and a couple as shown in Fig. P-628 compute the moment of area of the M diagrams between the reactions about both the left and the right reaction.
Problem 627
For the beam loaded as shown in Fig. P-627compute the moment of area of the M diagrams between the reactions about both the left and the right reaction. (Hint: Resolve the trapezoidal loading into a uniformly distributed load and a uniformly varying load.)
Problem 624
For the beam loaded as shown in Fig. P-624, compute the moment of area of the M diagrams between the reactions about both the left and the right reaction.
Problem 620
Find the midspan deflection δ for the beam shown in Fig. P-620, carrying two triangularly distributed loads. (Hint: For convenience, select the origin of the axes at the midspan position of the elastic curve.)
