Lect17 Influence Line 1 PDF

1. An influence line shows the response of a structure to a moving unit load. 2. The equilibrium method uses equations of equilibrium to derive influence lines for reactions, shear, and bending moment. 3. Muller-Breslau's principle relates influence lines to the deflected shape of a structure when a restraint is removed and a unit displacement is applied.

1. Definition

•Moving load
varying magnitude, direction, position

•Response
Varies according to the position of loads

•Issues
Maximum response (reaction, shear, bending
moment), and position of loads

response function of a structure as a
function of position of a downward
unit load moving across the structure.

3. Muller-Breslau’s principle
Principle of virtual work
The influence line for a force (moment) response
function is given by the deflected shape of the
released structure obtained by removing the
restraint corresponding to the response function
from the original structure and by giving the
released structure a unit displacement (rotation)
at the location and in the direction of the response
function.
