This chapter discusses the method of double integration to determine the deflection curve of beams subjected to bending loads. It presents the differential equations that relate the curvature, slope, and deflection of the elastic curve. The equations are integrated twice to obtain a general equation for the deflection of a beam under the action of a bending moment. The constants in the deflection equation are determined using the boundary conditions of different beam configurations, such as simply supported, overhanging, and cantilever beams. Singularity functions are also introduced to determine the slope and deflection of beams with concentrated loads.

CHAPTER 8

Deflection of Beams:
I. Method of Double Integration:

Differential Equations of the Deflection Curve (Elastic Curve):

The problem of bending probably occurs


more often than any other loading problem in
design. Shafts, axles, cranks, levers, springs,
brackets, and wheels, as well as many other
elements, must often be treated as beams in the
design and analysis of mechanical structures and
system.
A beam subjected to pure bending is bent into
an arc of circle within the elastic range, and the
relation for the curvature is:
(1)

Where:
 is the radius of the curvature of the neutral axis?
x is the distance of the section from the left end of the beam.
The curvature of a plane curve is given by the equation:

(2)

is the slope of the curve and in the case of elastic curve the slope is
very small:

84
then

or (3)

Multiply both sides by EI which is constant and integrating with respect to x:


(4)

Noting that because the angle θ is very small.

Then Eq. (4) can be written as:

And integrating the equation again:


EI y = ∫ [ ∫ M(x)dx + C1] dx + C2 (5)

EI y = ∫ [ ∫ M(x)dx] dx + C1 x + C2

The constants C1 and C2 are determined from the boundary conditions


(constants) imposed on the beam by its supports.
The figure shows different boundary conditions applied for the three
typical types of statically determinate beams:
(a) the simply supported beam,
(b) the overhanging beam,
(c) the cantilever beam.

85
In the first two cases, the
supports consist of a pin and
bracket at A and of a roller at
B, and require that the
deflection be zero at each of
these points.
Letting first
x = xA, y = yA = 0 in Eq. (5),
and then
x = xB, y = yB = 0 in the
same equation,
we obtain two equations that
can be solved for C1 and C2.
In the case of the cantilever
beam, we note that both the
deflection and the slope at A
must be zero.

Letting

x = xA, y = yA = 0 in Eq. (5), and

x = xA, θ = θA = 0 in Eq. (4),


we obtain again two equations that can be solved for C1 and C2.

Using singularity functions to determine the slope and deflection of a
beam:

Let us consider again the beam and loading of Example 9.03 (fig. a) and
draw the free-body diagram of that beam (fig. b). Using the appropriate
singularity function, to represent the contribution to the shear of the
concentrated load P, we write:

Integrating in x and recalling that in the


absence of any concentrated couple, the (a)
expression obtained for the bending
moment will not contain any constant
term, we have:

(b)
and, integrating in x,
(a)

The constants C1 and C2 can be


determined from the boundary conditions
shown in (Fig. c). Letting x = 0, y = 0 in
(c )
Eq. of y above , we have: (a)

which reduces to C2 = 0, since any bracket containing a negative quantity is


equal to zero.

91
Letting now x = L, y = 0, and C2 = 0 in the same equation of y above, we
write:

Since the quantity between brackets is positive, the brackets can be replaced
by ordinary parentheses. Solving for C1, we have:
