The beam deflections at section x are calculated by adding up expressions (2), (3), and (4) with the
appropriate change of variable.
It would be of interest to compare the dynamic deflections of a three-span beam with the correspon-
ding deflections of a single-span or a two-span system with the same EI, m, and I. In Fig. 2 are shown
the maximum deflections at the span centers of three-beam systems, calculated for the following range of
relative load velocities:
U
ul-- - - --0.2--1.2.

v# EI m
The solid lines here r e f e r , in the order of increasing maximum deflection, to the first, the second,
and the third span of the t h r e e - s p a n system; the dashed lines refer, respectively, to the first and the
second span of the two-span system, and the dash-dotted line r e f e r s to the single-span beam.
The magnitudes of beam deflection at a given load velocity have been determined for several values
of variable E in Ae = 0.1 steps. The results were compared, whereupon the maximum values Zma x were
selected and plotted in Fig. 2.
All caleulations were made on a model BESM-4 computer according to p r o g r a m s written in the
ALGOL-60 input language. The accuracy of these caIcutations was c a r r i e d to the sixth mode of beam vi-
brations. The graph indicates that the maximum deflection of a t h r e e - s p a n beam occurs in the third span
and exceeds, within the given range of load velocities, the maximum deflections of a single-span and of
a two-span beam by a factor of 1.63 and 1.17 respectively.
