I understood the changes that you have referred to and I also understand that I should substitute "I" with the two different functions of X that I had included in my post # 12. My problem is that I am not a mathematician and do not know how to take this further till I get a simpler equation. I...

Yes, I do understand that stiffer mid sections are used to withstand stress. However, in this case the "taller" and "wider" sections at the middle of the beam (both of which contribute to a higher moment of inertia) are intended to try and achieve a more circular pattern of deflection. The...

I have an identical situation posed by nauen and responded to by nvn. It is a simply supported beam with one load in the center. The beam cross section varies with x but is symmetrical across the y axis. In one situation the beam width is constant and the height varies uniformly and in another...
