Explanation Given information: Moment of inertia of the beam is I = 53.8 in . 4 . Method adopted: Castigliano’s theorem. Assumptions: Young’s modulus of the A992 steel beam is E = 29 ( 10 3 ) ksi . Explanation: Castigliano’s theorem to determine the slope for the beam is as follows: Δ = ∫ 0 L M ( ∂ M ∂ P ) d x E I (1) Here, Δ is displacement of the point caused by the real loads acting on the beam, P is an external force of variable magnitude applied to the beam at the point and in the direction of Δ , M is internal moment in the beam, expressed as a function of x and caused by both the force P and the actual loads on the beam, E is modulus of elasticity of a member, and I is moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area about the neutral axis. Internal moment in the beam ( M ): Apply an external force P at the point where the displacement is to be determined. Determine the reactions: Entire beam: Show the free-body diagram of the entire beam as in Figure 1. Moment about point A : Determine the vertical reaction at point B by taking moment about point A . ∑ M A = 0 8 ( 5 ) − B y ( 10 ) − P ( 15 ) = 0 (2) Along the vertical direction: Determine the vertical reaction at point A by resolving the vertical component of forces. ∑ F y = 0 A y − B y − 8 − P = 0 (3) Along the horizontal direction: Determine the horizontal reaction at point B by resolving the horizontal component of forces. ∑ F x = 0 B x = 0 Show the calculation of values as follows: Solve Equation (2). 40 − 10 B y − 15 P = 0 10 B y = 40 − 15 P B y = 4 − 1.5 P Substitute ( 4 − 1.5 P ) for B y in Equation (3).

Moment of Inertia

Inertia can be termed as a resistance offered by a body to change its state. A rigid body initially at rest will apply resistance when acted by an external force that tends to change its state of rest or velocity, or a body initially at motion will provi…
