Strength of Material 2

The document discusses deflection in engineering structures. Deflection refers to the displacement of a structural element under a load. There are several methods for calculating deflection, including using standard formulas for common beams, integrating the slope function, and employing techniques like virtual work, direct integration, and Euler-Bernoulli beam equations. Methods for solving deflection include the slope deflection method, double integral, virtual work, direct integration, and others.

Deflection:
In engineering, deflection is the degree to which a structural element is displaced under
a load (due to its deformation). It may refer to an angle or a distance.The deflection distance of a
member under a load can be calculated by integrating the function that mathematically describes
the slope of the deflected shape of the member under that load.Standard formulas exist for the
deflection of common beam configurations and load cases at discrete locations. Otherwise
methods such as virtual work, direct integration, Castigliano's method, Macaulay's method or
the direct stiffness method are used. The deflection of beam elements is usually calculated on the
basis of the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation while that of a plate or shell element is calculated
using plate or shell theory.An example of the use of deflection in this context is in building
construction. Architects and engineers select materials for various applications.
