A simply supported beam has a length of 3 m and carries a distributed load with a mean of 5 kN/m and a COV of 0.2. Assuming the load is normally distributed, what are the mean and standard deviation of the maximum moment in the beam? What is the probability the maximum moment will exceed 7 kN-m?

Question 1: Consider a non-uniform 10m long cantilever beam, with flexural rigidity of EI(x)= 300/x+20 kNm2 a) What is the flexural rigidity at each end of the beam? b) Calculate the deflection function for this beam under a uniform distributed load of 10N/m over the whole beam. Question 2:  Consider a uniform 10m long beam, with flexural rigidity of 12,000Nm2 that has a fixed supports on both ends. A weight is hung under the beam—attached via cable at the x = 3 point—applying a downward force of 200 N . At the same time a winch is connected to the beam—via a cable attached at the x = 7 point—pulling upward with a force of 200N. a)  What load function, f(x), represents this load? b) Calculate the deflection function for the beam. c)  Include a picture of the beam when it is under load. Question 3: Consider a non-uniform cantilever beam that is 1 m long and whose flexural rigidity is given by the function EI(x) = 30/x+2 kNm2. a) Calculate the influence function (a.k.a., “Green’s…
An 8-m simply supported beam carries a concentrated load of 40 kN at a distance of 3.25 m from the left support. How far (m) from the left support is the location of the maximum deflection? The flexural rigidity EI is equal to 10000 kN-m2. Enter a positive value. Just indicate the direction of the deflection in your solution. Next»
