Deflection by Superposition

„ Method of Superposition
– When a beam is subjected to several loads
(see Fig. 18) at various positions along the
beam, the problem of determining the
slope and the deflection usually becomes
quite involved and tedious.
– This is true regardless of the method used.
– However, many complex loading
conditions are merely combinations of

– Assumptions:
• The beam behaves elastically for the combined
loading.
• The beam also behaves elastically for the each
of the individual loads.
• Small deflection theory.

Deflection by Superposition

„ Method of Superposition
If it is assumed that the beam behaves
elastically for the combined loading, as well
as for the individual loads, the resulting final
deflection of the loaded beam is simply the
sum of the deflections caused by each of the
individual loads.

– This sum may be an algebraic one (Figure
19) or it might be a vector sum as shown in
Figure 20, the type depending on whether
or not the individual deflection lie in the
same plane.
– The superposition method can illustrated
by various practical examples.

– If we are interested on finding the slope
and the deflection, say of point D, then we
can use the superposition method to do
that as illustrated in the following slides.

the effect of each load, i.e., w, P, etc.

– The resulting final slope and deflection of

„ General Procedure of Superposition
– It is evident from the last results that the
slope or deflection of a beam is the sum of
the slopes or deflections produced by the
individual loads.
– Once the slopes or deflections produced
by a few typical individual loads have been
determined by one of the methods already

„ General Procedure of Superposition
– Presented, the superposition method
provides a means of quickly solving a wide
range of more complicated problems by
various combinations of known results.

wider range of problems can be solved by
the method of superposition.

„ Slope and Deflection Tables


– To facilitate the task of practicing
engineers, most structural and mechanical
handbooks include tables giving the
deflections and slopes of beams for
various loadings and types of support.
– Such a table can be found in the textbook
(Table B19) and provided herein in the
next few viewgraphs (Table 1 and 2).

„ Use of Slopes and Deflection Tables
– Indeed, given the information given under
cases 5 and 6 of Tables 2c, the slope and
deflection for any value x ≤ L/4 could have
been expressed analytically.
– Taking the derivative of the expression
obtained in this way, would have yielded
the slope of the beam over the same
interval.

„ Use of Slopes and Deflection Tables
– The slope at both ends of the beam may
be obtained by simply adding the
corresponding values given in the table.
– However, the maximum deflection of the
beam of Fig. 21 cannot be obtained by
adding the maximum deflections of cases 5
and 6 (Table 2c), since these deflections
occur at different points of the beam.

Transversely Loaded Beams
„ The Superposition Method
– The concept of the superposition, which
states that a slope or deflection due to
several loads is the algebraic sum of the
slopes or deflections to each individual
loads acting alone can be applied to
statically indeterminate beams.
– The superposition can provide the
additional equations needed in the
analysis.

Transversely Loaded Beams
„ The Superposition Method
– Procedure
• Selected restraints are removed and replaced by
unknown loads, e.g., forces and couples.
• Sketching of the deformation (deflection)
diagrams corresponding to individual loads (both
known and unknown).
• Adding up algebraically the individual of
components of slopes or deflections to produce
the known configuration.

Method (cont’d)
– First consider the reaction at B as
redundant and release the beam from the
support (remove restraint).
– The reaction RB is now considered as an
unknown load (see Fig. 39) and will be
determined from the condition that the
deflection at B must be zero.
