Equations for Bending and Deflection of a Beam

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on the equations for bending and deflection of a beam, emphasizing the need to show attempts at solving the problem for effective assistance. The user attempted to calculate vertical equilibrium and the second moment of area but encountered errors in their solution. They derived bending moment equations and integrated them to find deflection, applying boundary conditions to solve for constants. However, they were advised to incorporate an additional boundary condition related to the load's derivative to establish a system of equations for the unknowns. The conversation highlights the importance of following forum guidelines and providing thorough problem-solving attempts.

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution

In order to get help, you should show some attempts in solving the problem. Filling up the part "Relevant equations" would be a step forward.

You may consider yourself lucky that I wrote that, since it's self-understood on this forum and can be found in guidelines etc. ; the only reason I pointed it out (again and again) is that I don't want anybody new to PF to think that questions are ignored.

The Attempt at a Solution



i was tried, but the answer was wrong

my solution
vertical equilibirum: Ra=Rc=1/2(P+3*W)

Second moment of area: I = (PI/64)*(D^4-d^4)=4.2726*10^-6 m^4
bending moment equation from load intensity
M=Ra<x>^1-P<x-1.5>^1-(w<x-1.5>^2)/2+Rc<x-3>^1

Integrated:

EI(dv/dx)=(Ra<x>^2)/2-(P<x-1.5>^2)/2-(w<x-1.5>^3)/6+(Rc<x-3>^2)/2+C1

Integrated one more time

EIV=(Ra<x>^3)/6-(P<x-1.5>^3)/6-(w<x-1.5>^4)/24+(Rc<x-3>^3)/6+C1*X+C2


NOW take the boundary conditions:

at x=0, deflection V=0, so C2=0
at x=1.5m deflection v=3mm so, caculate the C1
 
after caculate the C1, LHS=RHS=0

so i can't continue

thanks
 
Thank for your remind!
 
There is one more boundary condition you need to use on w'(x) in order to obtain a system of two equations with two unknowns, C1 and P.
