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.

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…
