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 uma viga simplesmente apoiada PQ de comprimento L, carregando uma carga pontual F no centro. Qual será a deflexão no centro da viga?

Aqui, as reações em ambas as extremidades do feixe são iguais e cada uma é metade da carga central.

Considere o segmento PC e escolha qualquer ponto a uma distância x da extremidade P. Neste...
