Evaluating deflection of elastica

by Area Moment Method

1
2nd theorem is about t A/B
(tangential deviation of a point A on the elastic
curve wrt point B)
2
Proof of 2nd theorem

3
Example problem: Deflection and slope of a point in a cantilever beam

evaluating deflection of elastica
• Theorems of area moment method will be used.

HW: Repeat the problem if P
is not at the mid-span
