Lec 1 - Double Integration Method

The double integration method allows determining the deflection and slope of a beam at any point by obtaining the equation of the elastic curve. This is done by integrating the bending moment equation twice - first to find the slope of the elastic curve, and second to find the deflection. Two constants of integration must be evaluated using boundary conditions like points where deflection or slope is known. This method provides governing equations that relate the bending moment, slope, and deflection at any point along the beam to its properties.

DOUBLE INTEGRATION METHOD

The double integration method is a powerful tool in solving deflection and slope of a beam at any
point because we will be able to get the equation of the elastic curve.

In calculus, the radius of curvature of a curve y = f(x) is given by

In the derivation of flexure formula, the radius of curvature of a beam is given as

Deflection of beams is so small, such that the slope of the elastic curve dy/dx is very small, and squaring this
expression the value becomes practically negligible, hence

If EI is constant, the equation may be written as:

where x and y are the coordinates shown in the figure of the elastic curve of the beam under load, y is
the deflection of the beam at any distance x. E is the modulus of elasticity of the beam, I represent the
moment of inertia about the neutral axis, and M represents the bending moment at a distance x from
the end of the beam. The product EI is called the flexural rigidity of the beam.

The first integration y' yields the slope of the elastic curve and the second integration y gives the
deflection of the beam at any distance x. The resulting solution must contain two constants of
integration since EI y" = M is of second order. These 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.
