Beam Deflection DIM - PPSX

This document describes using a direct double integration method to determine the deflection at midspan of a beam loaded uniformly over its entire length. The method involves setting up moment and slope equations over two sections and applying compatibility conditions to solve for constants of integration. The final solution found for the deflection at midspan is -5wL4/768.

⸱ RB = wL/8 Magi
R + RB
ΣFV = wL/2 = A RA = 3wL/8

Determine the de ection (ΔC) at midspan in the beam loaded as shown.


My 1st approach
Computing Beam Deflection Sr
for a = b = L/2 Magi
RB = wL/8
RA = 3wL/8
for Section 1 (moment equation)
M1 = RA ⸱ x - w ⸱ x ⸱ x/2 = 3wLx/8 – wx2/2
The 1st integral of the moment equation gives the slope (EIθ) of the elastic curve
EIθ = 3wLx2/16 – wx3/6 + C1
The 2nd integral of the moment equation gives the de ection (EIΔ) of the elastic curve
EIΔ = 3wLx3/48 – wx4/24 + C1x + C2
Direct (Double) Integration Method
My 1st approach
Computing Beam Deflection Sr
for a = b = L/2 Magi
RB = wL/8
RA = 3wL/8
for Section 2 (moment equation)
M2 = RA ⸱ x – wL/2 ⸱ (x - L/4) = 3wLx/8 – wLx/2 + wL2/8
EIθ = – wLx2/16 + wL2x/8 + C3
EIΔ = – wLx3/48 + wL2x2/16 + C3x + C4
