Beam ABC is loaded by a uniform load q and point load P at joint C. Using the method of superposition, calculate the deflection at joint C. Assume that L = 4 m, a =2ra, q = 15 kN/m, P = 7.5 kN, £ = 200 GPa, and / = 70.8 X 106 mm4.

A counterclockwise moment M0acts at the midpoint of a fixed-end beam ACB of length L (see figure). Beginning with the second-order differential equation of the deflection curve (the bendingmoment equation), determine all reactions of the beam and obtain the equation of the deflection curve for the left-hand half of the beam. Then construct the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the entire beam, labeling all critical ordinales. Also, draw the deflection curve for the entire beam.

A fixed-end beam AB of a length L is subjected to a uniform load of intensity q acting over the middle region of the beam (sec figure). Obtain a formula for the fixed-end moments MAand MBin terms of the load q, the length L, and the length h of the loaded part of the beam. Plot a graph of the fixed-end moment MAversus the length b of the loaded part of the beam. For convenience, plot the graph in the following nondimensional form: MAqL2/l2versusbL with the ratio b/L varying between its extreme values of 0 and 1. (c) For the special case in which ù = h = L/3, draw the shear-force and bending-moment diagrams for the beam, labeling all critical ordinates.

A simple beam ABC has a moment of inertia 1,5 from A to B and A from B to C (see figure). A concentrated load P acts at point B. Obtain the equations of the deflection curves for both parts of the beam. From the equations, determine the angles of rotation 0Aand Bcat the supports and the deflection 6Bat point B.

A beam rests on supports at A and B and is loaded by a distributed load with intensity q as shown. A small gap exists between the unloaded beam and the support at C. Assume that span length L = 40 in. and flexural rigidity of the beam EI = 04 x 109lb-in2. Plot a graph of the bending moment at B as a function of the load intensity q. Hint: See Example 9-9 for guidance on computing the deflection at C.

-17 A cantilever beam AB is acted upon by a uniformly distributed moment (bending moment, not torque) of intensity m per unit distance along the axis of the beam (see figure). Derive the equation of the deflection curve and then obtain formulas for the deflection Band angle of rotation Bat the free end. Use the second-order differential equation of the deflection curve.
