E M 319 Chapter Notes - Chapter Chapter 10: Statically Indeterminate
Document Summary
Propped cantilever beam: fixed at one end and simply supported at the other. Fixed end beam: fixed supports at both ends. Continuous beams: more than one span and is continuous over an interior support. Equations of the deflection curve: second-order equation in terms of bending moment, third-order equation in terms of shear force, fourth-order equation in terms of distributed load flexibility / force method equilibrium equations. Assume original loads and redundant loads act on structure. Find deflections in the released structure by superposition. Degree of indeterminacy: number of reactions in excess of the number of equilibrium equations. Primary structure: redundants are released making it statically determinate.
