Exercise (1)

(1) Determine the equations of the elastic curve

for the beam using the ‫ ݔ‬coordinate.
Specify the slope at ‫ ܣ‬and the maximum
deflection of the beam. ‫ ܫܧ‬is constant.

(2) The bar is supported by a roller constraint at

‫ܤ‬, which allows vertical displacement but
resists axial load and moment. If the bar is
subjected to the loading shown, determine
the slope at ‫ ܣ‬and the deflection at ‫ܥ‬. ‫ ܫܧ‬is
constant. Use the method of integration.

(3) Determine the equations of the elastic curve

using the coordinates ‫ݔ‬ଵ and ‫ݔ‬ଷ and specify
the slope and deflection at point ‫ܤ‬. ‫ ܫܧ‬is
constant.

(4) Determine the elastic curve for the simply

supported beam using the ‫ ݔ‬coordinate
0 ൑ ‫ ݔ‬൑ ‫ܮ‬⁄2. Also, determine the slope at
‫ ܣ‬and the maximum deflection of the beam.
‫ ܫܧ‬is constant.

(5) Determine the maximum deflection

between the supports ‫ ܣ‬and ‫ܤ‬. ‫ ܫܧ‬is
constant. Use the method of integration.
