Solids and Structures Tutorial 9 Deflection of beams

1) A simply supported beam of length L is loaded with a concentrated load P applied to the centre of the span. a) Calculate the deflection underneath the applied load. Ans: PL3/(48EI). b) If a rectangular section beam 100 mm long, 20 mm wide by 5 mm deep begins to yield at a load of 7500 N, what is the yield strength of the material? Ans: 22.5 MPa.

2) A simply supported beam is subjected to the loading shown below. The flexural rigidity EI of the beam is 1 MNm2.

a) Determine the reactions at the supports. Ans: 9 kN at each support. b) Determine the slope at the left hand support. Ans: 6.75x10-3 radians c) How much do the free ends of the beam deflect upward under the applied load? Ans: 6.75 mm...
