Consistent Deformation Method

This document discusses the consistent deformation method for analyzing statically indeterminate beams. [1] It begins with an introduction to the consistent deformation method and its basis in deflection computations. [2] It then discusses the process for analyzing statically indeterminate beams using this method, which involves making the structure determinate by removing redundancies, drawing M/EI diagrams, and computing deflections. [3] The document applies this method to analyze a propped cantilever beam and beams with varying moments of inertia, computing the unknown reactions through the relationship between deflections.

INTRODUCTION
The method of consistent deformation is also known as
the ‘General Force method.’ The method is credited to
clerk Maxwell (1864), Otto Mohr (1874) and Muller-
Breslan (1886). The method is based on the deflection
computations and sometimes referred to as the Maxwell-
Mohr method,
The structure obtained by replacing the redundant
reactions by unknown forces or moments is known as a
basic determinate structure.

STATICALLY INDETERMINATE BEAMS
The statically determinate beam is analysed by the
method of consistent deformation by first obtaining a
basic determinate structure.
The process of analysed consists of :
 Removing enough redundant so as to make the
structure determinate.
 Drawing M / EI diagram for the basic determinate
structure,
 Drawing conjugate beam considering M / EI diagram
as a loading.
4
 Computing the deflection (ΔB) at the point, say B,
where the redundant is removed.
 Applying unit load at the point of redundant and
computing deflection (δBB).
ΔB + VB . δBB = 0 VB
= - (ΔB / δBB)

ΔB = Deflection at B due to External Loading
= B.M. at B in Conjugate Beam (Fig. D)
= [- (1 / 2) x 3 x (75 / EI)] x [3 + (2 / 3) x 3]
= - (562.5 / EI)

= B.M. at B in Conjugate Beam (Fig. F)
= {[(1 / 2) x 3 x (3 / EI)] x (2 / 3) x 3}
+ {[3 x (1.5 / EI)] x 4.5}
+ {[(1 / 2) x 3 x (1.5 / EI)] x [3 + (2 / 3) x 3]}
= (1 / EI) [9 + 20.25 + 11.25]
= (40.5 / EI)

By Statics,
VA = Total vertical load – VB
= 50 – 13.88
= 36.12 kN (↑)

Moments,
MB = 0
MC = (13.88 x 3)
= 41.64 kN.m
MA = (13.88 x 6) – (50 x 3)
= - 66.72 kN.m
