Introduction
•
•
When a structure is placed under load - bend, deflect or displace.
The deflection will depend on the following factors:
– Geometry of the structure, including shape and
flexural rigidity of member.
– Flexibility/rigidity of the material used.
– Restraint of the supports.
– Load pattern
• This chapter is intended as an introduction to the analytical techniques used for
calculating deflections in beams and also for calculating the rotations at critical
locations along the length of a beam
Introduction
• Load applied on the beam, it is often helpful to sketch the
deflected shape before the slope or displacement at any point on a
beam can be determined.
• This deflection diagram called as an elastic curve.
• However it is necessary to know how the slope or displacement is
restricted at various types of supports. The zero slope and zero
displacement occur at all fixed supports and zero displacement
occurs at all pin and roller support.
Deflection of Beams
The deflection is measured from the original neutral
surface of the beam to the neutral surface of the
deformed beam. The configuration assumed by the
deformed neutral surface is known as the elastic curve of
the beam as shown in Figure
Numerous methods are available for the determination of beam
deflections. These methods include:
1. Double Integration Method
2. Moment Area Method
3. Strain Energy Method (Castigliano’s Theorem)
4. Conjugate Beam Method
5. Method of Superposition
Double Integration Method
• known as Macaulay’s Method and powerful tool in solving
deflection and slope of a beam at any point because –
– able to get the equation of the elastic curve
– In calculus, the radius of curvature of a curve y = f(x) is given by 𝜌 =

[1+(𝑑𝑦 𝑑𝑥)2 ] 2
𝑑2 𝑦
The radius of curvature of a
beam is given as 𝜌 = 𝐸𝐼 𝑀
𝑑𝑥2
– Deflection of beams is so small, the slope of the elastic curve dy/dx is
very small, and squaring this expression the value becomes practically

• If EI is constant, the equation may be written as: 𝐸𝐼𝑦 ,, = 𝑀
Where as:
• x and y are the coordinates of elastic curve beam under load
• y is the deflection of the beam at any distance x
• E is the modulus of elasticity
• I is the moment of inertia from NA
• M is the bending moment at a distance x from the end of the beam
• EI is called the flexural rigidity of the beam.
• The resulting solution must contain two constants of integration since
𝐸𝐼𝑦 ,, = 𝑀 is of second order.
– two constants must be evaluated from known conditions concerning the slope deflection
at certain points of the beam.
• For instance, in the case of a simply supported beam with rigid supports, at
x = 0 and x = L, the deflection y = 0, and in locating the point of maximum
deflection, we simply set the slope of the elastic curve y' to zero.

Boundary Condition
• Generally, the deflections is known as y-values and slopes is known as
dx/dy. The values are called boundary conditions, which normally are:
• Cantilever beam
• Simply support
When ,
x = L, deflection, y = 0
x = L, slope, dy/dx = 0
When ,
x = 0, deflection, y = 0
x = L, deflection y= 0
x = L/2, slope dy/dx = 0
• Cantilever at one free end
When ,
x = L, deflection, y = 0
x = L, slope, dx/dy = 0
x = L + L1, deflection y= 0
Example
• The cantilevered beam with length, L shown in figure is subjected
to a vertical load, P at its end. Determine the maximum slope and
deflection using double integration method. EI is constant.

Moment Area Method
• Defined as semi-graphical technique.
• Suitable to calculate the slope of tangents or the vertical deviationdeflection at selected points on a beam.
– It requires finding area segments under the M/EI diagram on the elastic curve.
• Procedure for beam analysis can be summarized as;
– Calculate the support reactions
– Draw the M/EI diagram
– Select the reference tangent, t either
• a known point with zero slope
• determine tangential deviation of one support and the other also finding the
angle.
Theorem
Theorem 1 – Slope
– The change in slope between the tangents drawn to the elastic
curve at any two points A and B
– is equal to the product of 1/EI multiplied by the area of the moment
diagram between these two points.

Theorem 2 – Deflection
• The deviation of any point B relative to the tangent drawn to the
elastic curve at any other point A, in a direction perpendicular to the
original position of the beam,
– is equal to the product of 1/EI multiplied by the moment of an area about B of that
part of the moment diagram between points A and B.

Basic principles
• The bending moment caused by all forces to the left or to the right of any
section is equal to the respective algebraic sum of the bending moments at
that section caused by each load acting separately;
𝑴 = 𝚺𝑴
𝑳
= 𝚺𝑴

• The moment of a load about a specified axis is always defined by the
equation of a spandrel;
𝒀 = 𝒌𝒙𝒏
• where n is the degree of power of x
• The graph of the above equation is as shown below
