Question

Problem 1: (Please solve parts A and B of problem)

A) A uniformly distributed load is subjected on the clamped-clamped beam and it is supported by a spring in the middle of the beam. Using Castigliano’s theorem, find the deflection in the spring. (Please use only Castigliano’s theorem to solve this part)

 

B) Remove the spring in part A and use the Rayleigh-Ritz method to solve for the deflection at the middle of the beam.

Assume that v(x) = C (1- Cos((2Pi*x)/L)) (Please use only Rayleigh-Ritz method for this part)
