Boundary conditions on a fixed-fixed bar

AI Thread Summary
In analyzing a fixed-fixed bar subjected to a distributed axial load w(x)=CX/L, the user is seeking assistance with determining the appropriate force boundary conditions. The known conditions are U(0)=0 and U(L)=0, indicating fixed displacements at both ends of the bar. The user is specifically looking for guidance on how to define U' at a certain value, which relates to the bar's axial deformation under load. A visual aid has been provided to clarify the problem. Additional insights on deriving the force boundary conditions would be beneficial.

I am working with a fixed fixed bar with a distributed axial load to the right as w(x)=CX/L. I am having a hard time determining the force boundary conditions. I know that U(0)=0 and U(L)=0. However, I need to come up with something in regards to U'(Value). Any help would be appreciated.

How did you find PF?: Via Google search Hi, I have a vessel I 3D printed to investigate single bubble rise. The vessel has a 4 mm gap separated by acrylic panels. This is essentially my viewing chamber where I can record the bubble motion. The vessel is open to atmosphere. The bubble generation mechanism is composed of a syringe pump and glass capillary tube (Internal Diameter of 0.45 mm). I connect a 1/4” air line hose from the syringe to the capillary The bubble is formed at the tip...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'd like to create a thread with links to 3-D Printer resources, including printers and software package suggestions. My motivations are selfish, as I have a 3-D printed project that I'm working on, and I'd like to buy a simple printer and use low cost software to make the first prototype. There are some previous threads about 3-D printing like this: https://www.physicsforums.com/threads/are-3d-printers-easy-to-use-yet.917489/ but none that address the overall topic (unless I've missed...
