Indeterminate Beams by Integration M

Statically indeterminate beams are

characterized by the fact that not enough
PL/2 V
equilibrium equations exist to solve for the A
unknown reactions. At least one redundant
will exist. (A redundant is a reaction that is ΣMcut = 0
present but unnecessary for equilibrium.) M – Ax + PL/2 = 0
As before, we consider the deflection to M = Ax – PL/2
help us analyze the problem. The boundary
conditions put restraints on the system such EIy’’ = M = Ax – PL/2
that we can solve for all unknowns. EIy’ = Ax2/2 – PLx/2 + C1
EIy = Ax3/6 – PLx2/4 + C1x + C2

2. Write the applicable equilibrium From the boundary conditions:

Beam Deflection by Superposition Plus P

We have solved several deflection problems

using the integration method. We can now
y2
tabulate our results of the common
problems and use these solutions rather
than starting from scratch each time.
Appendix D is a table compiled by the
authors, giving y’ = y1’ + y2’
1. The equation of the elastic curve. y = y1 + y2
2. The maximum deflection, and
3. Slopes at the ends.

The method of superposition may be used

for two or more loadings: “If several causes
act simultaneously on a system and each
effect is directly proportional to its cause,
then the total effect is the sum of the
individual effects when considered
separately, provided Hooke’s Law is valid
within the range of these effects either
individually or combined.” The stresses
must remain in the elastic region and the
deformation resulting from any given load
must be small and not affect the condition
of application of the other loads.

Thus, the slope and deflection at any point

is the sum of the individual effects as long
as Hooke’s Law applies.

When a beam is statically indeterminate,
deformation equations may be written to
supplement those from equilibrium.
B
Note: The number of unknowns minus the
number of equilibrium equations
equals the number of redundants. yB1 = -Mx2/(2EI) = -(PL/2)(L)2/(2EI)
= -PL3/(4EI)
We may remove as many redundant
restraints as necessary to make the beam
statically determinate. Consider the Plus
statically determinate beam deflected by
the applied loads. The deformations at the
points where the redundant restraints were
removed can be evaluated. Then the
reactions can be applied back with such
magnitude so as to make the combined
deformation from the loads and restraints B
consistent with the boundary conditions of
the original beam.

Column Buckling P
M
When we analyzed short columns under
compression, we assumed that the columns
V
would fail by crushing. The state of stress is
σ = -P/A.

If there is any eccentricity to the load (P is P

off-center), a bending moment will be
created. Then σ = -P/A +/- My/I , where
M = Pe.
Make a cut and sum forces:
Short columns are defined by 0 < λ <60.
Where λ is the slenderness ratio equals the ΣMcut: = 0
column height divided by the radius of
gyration of the appropriate axis. M + Py = 0
h = column height
Remember from last week,
r = radius of gyration = e(I/A) EIy’’ = M, so EIy’’ + Py = 0

And EIy’’ + Py = 0, is an Ordinary Linear

equation is:
Buckling investigates the force P that will
cause a long slender column to become [D2 + P/(EI)]y = 0
unstable. (The column will suddenly bend
to a curved shape due to an axial load, D = Ee[P/(EI)] i
probably applied with a slight eccentricity.)

Let p = e[P/(EI)]
The critical load that can be put on the
column before it will buckle was derived by
the Swiss mathematician, Leonhard Euler.

So D = Epi.

The general solution is:

y = A sin (px) + B cos (px)

Boundary conditions:
h y
y=0@x=0 ∴B=0
y = 0 @ x = h ∴ A sin (ph) = 0

So A = 0 or sin (ph) = 0

From Trigonometry:
P P
Lecture 24 ENGR 240 Strength of Materials Fall 2015

The sine of a function is 0 at intervals of π.

So (ph) = nπ, where n =1,2,3,…

e[P/(EI)] (h) = nπ

P = n2π2EI/h2

The critical Euler Buckling Load (n = 1) for

a pin-connected column is:

Pcr = π2EI/h2

And buckling will occur about the Imin axis

(usually Iy).

For n =2:

P = 4Pcr

Each increase in n, will add one more bow

in the column.

Column End Conditions Fixed-Fixed (K = 0.5)

(typical lateral frame column)
Euler’s formula: Pcr = π2EI/h2 was derived
for a column with pin-connected ends; that
is, the ends were allowed to rotate (M = 0)
but not to move. For columns with other
end conditions, this formula can be altered
rather than derive completely different one L Le = L/2
each time. In general,

Pcr = π2EI/Le2

Where Le is the effective length (height) of

the column. (Le is the length so that the
column would appear to be pin-connected.) The quarterpoints are the points of
