• Assumptions:
– beam is initially straight,
– is elastically deformed by the loads, such that
the slope and deflection of the elastic curve are
very small, and
– deformations are caused by bending.
Theorem 1
• The angle between the tangents at any two pts on
the elastic curve equals the area under the M/EI
diagram between these two pts.

Theorem 2
• The vertical deviation of the tangent at a pt (A) on
the elastic curve w.r.t. the tangent extended from
another pt (B) equals the moment of the area
under the ME/I diagram between these two pts
(A and B).
• This moment is computed about pt (A) where the
vertical deviation (tA/B) is to be determined.

Equations of equilibrium:
Reactions at A and C can now be determined from the
eqns of equilibrium. Show that Ax = 0, Cy = 5M0/4L,
and Ay = M0/4L.
