When a simply-supported elastic beam of span L and flexural rigidity EI (E is the modulus of elasticity and I is the moment of inertia of the section) is loaded with a uniformly distributed load w per unit length, the de...
A cantilever beam PQ of uniform flexural rigidity (EI) is subjected to a concentrated moment M at R as shown in the figure. The deflection at the free end Q is
Two prismatic beams having the same flexural rigidity of 1000 kN-m² are shown in the figures. If the mid-span deflections of these beams are denoted by $\delta_1$ and $\delta_2$ (as indicated in the figures), the correct...
A prismatic beam P-Q-R of flexural rigidity EI=1×10⁴ kNm² is subjected to a moment of 180 kNm at Q as shown in the figure. The rotation at Q (in rad, up to two decimal places) is _________
