Although the integral method works for all loadings, it cannot be used if you look at the distributed load along the length of the pipe, because it is not uniformly distributed along the "b" distance of the pipe. So would I have to start off by looking down the center of the pipe i.e. a circle...

Hi everyone, So I am trying to study how different types of slurry will deflect a PVC pipe. The first step in my understanding is to reduce distributed load into a resultant force. I'm assuming that the resultant force will be placed in the center of the pipe (assuming a homogeneous...

Hey guys, So in one of my classes we are studying composite materials. We did an experiment where a piece of composite material was anchored at each of it's ends and the temperature was changed throughout the day to simulate the varying outdoor temperature. This gives you a center deflection...
