Beam Deflection from Central Load

Description

Beam deflection from a central load can be found with Castigliano's theorem. The method applies to a simply supported beam with a point load at the center. It links the deflection at the load point to the strain energy stored in the beam.

For this beam, the supports share the load equally. Each s...

Considere una viga PQ simplemente apoyada de longitud L, que lleva una carga puntual F en el centro. ¿Cuál será la deflexión en el centro de la viga?

Aquí, las reacciones en ambos extremos del haz son iguales y cada uno es la mitad de la carga central.

Considere el segmento PC y elija cualquier punto a una distancia x del extremo P...
