Conveyor belts in airports are used to carry bags during transportation (see Fig.2). This structure can be modelled
as simply supported beam where the bags are considered as point and distributed loads as shown in Figure.4.
Your role is to evaluate the variation of slope and deflection along a simply supported beam by reviewing a
suitable size universal beam from appropriate data tables that conform to given design requirements for both the
slope and deflection criteria.

1. By obtaining the slope and deflection equations, evaluate the variation of slope and deflection along a
simply supported beam and plot the solution along the beam x – axis.
2. Using the principle of superposition find the deflection and slope values point D
3. For the following design requirements
1.0 s yp S 9 mm
Oa s.005 rad
minmum weight
Select a suitable size universal beam of the following beams from the appropriate Tables in Appendix C and
D:
beam made of aluminium (E = 70 GPa)
beam made of steel (E = 200 GPa)
Beam (1): S380 x 74
Вeam (2): С310 х 45
Beam (3): W410 × 114
Beam (4): S460 × 104
beam made of aluminium (E = 70 GPa)
beam made of steel (E = 200 GPa)
4. Criticize and justify your choice in Part (3) by using Solidworks software for the 3D models of each
beam. This would be achieved by commenting on the accuracy of the computer model and stating what
assumptions that would affect the results if a comparison between the calculations in Part (2) and the
computer model is made.
