Review Module – Structural Engineering (Deflections)

DEFLECTIONS: SITUATION:
DOUBLE INTEGRATION METHOD

𝑬𝑰𝒚′′ = 𝑴
𝑬𝑰𝒚′ = ∫ 𝑴𝒅𝒙 + 𝑪𝟏

𝑬𝑰𝒚 = ∫ ∫ 𝑴𝒅𝒙𝒅𝒙 + 𝑪𝟏 𝒙 + 𝑪𝟐

SITUATION:

Use EI = 4200kNm2
1. Determine the deflection at B.
2. Determine the slope at A.

USE E = 200GPa, I = 140x106mm4

1. Determine the slope at D.

2. Determine the deflection at B.
3. Determine the maximum deflection.

AREA – MOMENT METHOD

Theorem 1: The angle 𝜃 between the tangents at two points A and

B of the elastic curve of a beam equals the area of the moment
diagram between A and B divided by the flexural rigidity.

𝜃𝐴𝐵 = (𝐴𝑟𝑒𝑎)𝐴𝐵
𝐸𝐼

Theorem 2: The deviation of any point B relative to the tangent

drawn to the elastic curve at any other point A, in a direction
perpendicular to the original position of the beam, is equal to
moment about B of the area of the moment diagram between A
and B divided by the flexural rigidity.
