Explanation Given information: The flexural rigidity of the beam is E I . The length of the beam ( L ) is 24 ft . Calculation: Show the free body diagram of the beam as in Figure 1. Refer to Figure 1. Calculate the support reactions A and B ( R A and R B ) : Calculate the vertical forces by applying the equation of equilibrium: Sum of vertical forces is equal to 0. ∑ F y = 0 R A + R B − 4 = 0 R A + R B = 4 (1) Calculate the moment about point A by applying the equation of equilibrium: Sum of moments about point A is equal to 0. ∑ M A = 0 ( R B × 24 ) − 6 − 6 − ( 4 × 24 ) = 0 24 R B − 108 = 0 24 R B = 108 R B = 108 24 R B = 4.5 kip Substitute 4.5 kip for R B in Equation (1). R A + 4.5 = 4 R A = 4 − 4.5 R A = − 0.5 kip R A = 0.5 kip ( ↓ ) Calculate the moment function with respect of the x distance M ( x ) : M ( x ) = − 0.5 ( x − 0 ) − ( − 6 ) ( x − 8 ) 0 − ( − 6 ) ( x − 16 ) 0 = − 0.5 x + 6 ( x − 8 ) 0 + 6 ( x − 16 ) 0 Elastic Curve and slope is as follows: E I d 2 υ d x 2 = M ( x ) (2) Substitute [ − 0.5 x + 6 ( x − 8 ) 0 + 6 ( x − 16 ) 0 ] for M ( x ) in Equation (2). E I d 2 υ d x 2 = − 0.5 x + 6 ( x − 8 ) 0 + 6 ( x − 16 ) 0 (3) Integrate both sides of the Equation (3). E I d υ d x = − 0.5 x 2 2 + 6 ( x − 8 ) + 6 ( x − 16 ) + C 1 = − 0.25 x 2 + 6 ( x − 8 ) + 6 ( x − 16 ) + C 1 (4) Integrate both sides of the Equation (4). E I υ = − 0

Slope and Deflection

The slope in a deflected beam is described as an angle in radians made by the tangent of the section with the original axis of the beam. The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is defined as the lateral displacement of the point before and af…
