The first integration y' yields the slope of the elastic curve and
the second integration y gives the deflection of the beam at any
distance x. The resulting solution must contain two constants
of integration since EI y" = M is of second order. These two
constants must be evaluated from known conditions concerning
the slope deflection at certain points of the beam. For instance,
in the case of a simply supported beam with rigid supports, at x = 0
and x = L, the deflection y = 0, and in locating the point of
maximum deflection, we simply set the slope of the elastic curve
y' to zero.

= Load =
This method is especially useful for simply supported beams. For other
beams, such as cantilevers or overhanging beams, artificial constraints
must be applied.
Virtual Work Method
The slope and deflection at any section in the real beam are
given by the shear and bending moment at the corresponding
section in the conjugate beam, and the elastic curve of the real
beam is given by the bending moment diagram of the conjugate
beam. The end slope and end deflection of the real beam are given
by the end reaction and end moment of the conjugate beam. The
maximum deflection in the real beam occurs at the position of
zero shear in the conjugate beam.
