Geometric Deflection Methods PDF

This document discusses methods for determining beam deflections, including the double integration method. The double integration method involves: 1) determining the equations for bending moment and M/EI along the beam, 2) deriving the equations for slope and deflection, 3) applying boundary conditions to solve for the slope and deflection values. Two example problems are given - one involves using the double integration method to find the slope and deflection of a beam, and the other asks to find the maximum deflection of a simply supported beam with a central load.
