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.

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
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'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
