Castigliano’s theorem determines deflection and slope by adding a virtual force, P’ to an interested point. The internal forces due to this loading…
Read moreVirtual work method consists of two main steps to determine structure’s slope and deflection. First, internal forces due to actual loading are dete…
Read moreBeam is converted to conjugate beam based on its end conditions. Moment acting in beam is divided by EI and then treated as load acting on the conj…
Read moreMoment area method requires M/EI diagram, which is developed from bending moment diagram. Given points A and B on the elastic curve: Area under d…
Read moreImplementation of elastic beam theory requires these steps: Derive moment function as a function of location. Integrate the function twice. Determi…
Read moreElastic beam theory is widely used to calculate beam deflection. To implement the theory, these assumptions should be adhered: Beam material is i…
