The Double Integration Method

The Double Integration Method
Figure shows the exaggerated view of the elastic curve of a

deflected beam. Select the left support as origin of an x axis
directed along the original un-deflected position of the beam
and a y axis directed positive upward. The deflections are so
small so that the difference in the original length of the beam
and the projection of its deflected length is negligible.
Consequently, the elastic curve is very flat so its slope at any
point is very small. The value of the tan θ = dy/dx maybe set to
θ with minimal error.
