Lecture 7 - 1

This document discusses statically determinate beams and methods for calculating beam deflection, including: 1) The direct integration method for determining slope and deflection of beams under different loading conditions. 2) Macaulay's method, which can handle discontinuous loads more easily than direct integration by switching off terms. 3) Examples of using direct integration and Macaulay's method to find slope, deflection, and maximum deflection of beams.

Shear and Moment Diagrams for a beam

Determine the equations for the slope and deflection of the beam shown in Figure by the direct
integration method. Also, compute the slope at each end and the deflection at the mid-span of
the beam. EI is constant.
Shear and Moment Diagrams for a beam

Determine the slope and deflection at point B of the beam shown by the direct integration
method. E = 70 GPa and I = 164 x 10^6 mm4

Q3. Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the beam. Find deflection at C.
Beyond direct integration method/double integration method

So far we have looked at some problems in direct integration / double integration method. This
method helps us to determine deflection in structures where moment M and flexural rigidity EI
is known.

Now look at a very simple problem.

Determine the equations for the slope and deflection of the beam shown below by the direct
integration method.

William Herrick Macaulay’s Macaulay’s Method

If the load is discontinuous or discrete, as we have seen earlier, for every extra load, there will
be two more constants of integration. When a beam have variety of loads, it is difficult to apply
direct integration theory. Therefore, Macaulay proposed a method that will switch off some
components of the equation when they are negative. For example,
