M = ∑Mcut (CW positive)

M = -5 – 20<x-2> + 153<x-2> – 88<x-3>(1/2)<x-3> + 307<x-7>
M = -5 + 133<x-2> – 44<x-3>2 + 307<x-7>

Slope and Deflection Equation:

EI y’’ = M
EI y’’ = -5 + 133<x-2> – 44<x-3>2 + 307<x-7>
EI y’ = -5x + 133/2 <x-2>2 – 44/3 <x-3>3 + 307/2 <x-7>2 + C1
EI y = -5/2 x2 + 133/6 <x-2>3 – 44/12 <x-3>4 + 307/6 <x-7>3 + C1(x) + C2
EI y = -5/2 x2 + 133/6 <x-2>3 – 11/3 <x-3>4 + 307/6 <x-7>3 + C1(x) + C2
Boundary Conditions:
At Left Support (x = 2 ; y = 0)
EI (0) = -5/2 (2)2 + 133/6 <2-2>3 – 11/3 <2-3>4 + 307/6 <2-7>3 + C1(2) + C2
0 = -10 + 2C1 + C2
C2 = 10 – 2C1

At Right Support (x = 7 ; y = 0) and C2 = 0

EI (0) = -5/2 (7)2 + 133/6 <7-2>3 – 11/3 <7-3>4 + 307/6 <7-7>3 + C1(7) + C2
0 = 5129/3 + 7C1 + C2
Substituting C2,
0 = 5129/3 + 7C1 + (10 – 2C1)
0 = 5129/3 + 7C1 + 10 – 2C1
0 = 5159/3 + 5C1
C1 = -5159/15

C2 = 10 – 2(-5159/15)
C2 = 10468/15

Thus, the Slope and Deflection Formulas are:

EI y’ = -5x + 133/2 <x-2>2 – 44/3 <x-3>3 + 307/2 <x-7>2 – 5159/15
EI y = -5/2 x2 + 133/6 <x-2>3 – 11/3 <x-3>4 + 307/6 <x-7>3 – 5159/15 x + 10468/15

Solving for Maximum Deflection:

At Maximum Deflection, y’ = 0
EI y’ = -5x + 133/2 <x-2>2 – 44/3 <x-3>3 + 307/2 <x-7>2 – 5159/15
Assume Max Deflection occurs at (2 < x < 7) 0
EI (0) = -5x + 133/2 <x-2>2 – 44/3 <x-3>3 + 307/2 <x-7>2 – 5159/15
0 = -5x + 133/2 <x-2>2 – 44/3 <x-3>3 – 5159/15
Using Solve Function of Calculator, (Shift + Calc)
Brief Procedure: ( Enter equation, press ‘Shift’ + ‘CALC’, enter a value *calculator finds
value of “x” nearest to the entered value*, press ‘=’, wait for answer)
Entered value is ‘0’:
x1 = 0.569 m (extraneous)
Entered value is ‘4’:
x2 = 4.501 m (use this because it’s within our assumed limit, 2<x<7)
Entered value is ‘10’:
x3 = 8.464 m (extraneous)
Thus, the location of maximum deflection is at x = 4.501m or 2.501m right of the left
support.

For Maximum Deflection, x = 4.501

EI y = -5/2 x2 + 133/6 <x-2>3 – 11/3 <x-3>4 + 307/6 <x-7>3 – 5159/15 x + 10468/15
EI y = -5/2 (4.501)2 + 133/6 <4.501-2>3 – 11/3 <4.501-3>4 + 307/6 <4.501-7>3
– 5159/15 (4.501) + 10468/15 0
EI y = – 572.667 KN-m 3

y = – 572.667/EI kN-m3
