Note to SEN 3112 students; the material in 10.1 through 10.3 is largel classical and ma be skipped if ou remember beams in SEN The new stuff starts with the summar in Introduction This Lecture starts the presentation of methods for computed lateral deflections of plane beams undergoing smmetric bending. This topic is covered in great detail in Chapter 9 of the tetbook b eer, Johnston and DeWolf. The lectures posted here summarize some important points and present some eamples. Students are assumed to be familiar with: (1) integration of ODEs, and (2) statics of plane beams under smmetric bending. The latter topic is covered in SEN Chapters 4 through 6 of the Mechanics of Materials tetbook b eer, Johnston and DeWolf deal thoroughl with that subject, which is assumed to be known What is a eam? eams are the most common tpe of structural component, particularl in Civil and Mechanical Engineering. beam is a bar-like structural member whose primar function is to support transverse loading and carr it to the supports. See Figure bar-like it is meant that one of the dimensions is considerabl larger than the other two. This dimension is called the longitudinal dimension or beam ais. The intersection of planes normal to the longitudinal dimension with the beam member are called cross sections. longitudinal plane is one that passes through the beam ais. Figure beam is a structural member designed to resist transverse loads. beam resists transverse loads mainl through bending action, ending produces compressive longitudinal stresses in one side of the beam and tensile stresses in the other. The two regions are separated b a neutral surface of zero stress. The combination of tensile and compressive stresses produces an internal bending moment. This moment is the primar mechanism that transports loads to the supports. The mechanism is illustrated in Figure Terminolog Neutral surface Tensile stress Compressive stress Figure eam transverse loads are primaril resisted b bending action. general beam is a bar-like member designed to resist a combination of loading actions such as biaial bending, transverse shears, aial stretching or compression, and possibl torsion. If the internal aial force is compressive, the beam has also to be designed to resist buckling. If the beam is subject primaril to bending and aial forces, it is called a beam-column. If it is subjected primaril to bending forces, it is called simpl a beam. beam is straight if its longitudinal ais is straight. It is prismatic if its cross section is constant. 10 3

4 Lecture 10: EM DEFLECTIONS: SECOND-ORDER METHOD spatial beam supports transverse loads that can act on arbitrar directions along the cross section. plane beam resists primaril transverse loading on a preferred longitudinal plane. This course considers onl plane beams undergoing smmetric bending Mathematical Models One-dimensional mathematical models of structural beams are constructed on the basis of beam theories. ecause beams are actuall three-dimensional bodies, all models necessaril involve some form of approimation to the underling phsics. The simplest and best known models for straight, prismatic beams are based on the ernoulli-euler beam theor (also called classical beam theor and engineering beam theor), and the Timoshenko beam theor. The ernoulli-euler theor is that taught in introductor Mechanics of Materials courses, and is the onl one dealt with in this course. The Timoshenko model incorporates a first order kinematic correction for transverse shear effects. This model assumes additional importance in dnamics and vibration ssumptions of Classical eam Theor The classical beam theor for plane beams rests on the following assumptions: 1. Planar smmetr. The longitudinal ais is straight and the cross section of the beam has a longitudinal plane of smmetr. The resultant of the transverse loads acting on each section lies on that plane. The support conditions are also smmetric about this plane. 2. Cross section variation. The cross section is either constant or varies smoothl. 3. Normalit. Plane sections originall normal to the longitudinal ais of the beam remain plane and normal to the deformed longitudinal ais upon bending. 4. Strain energ. The internal strain energ of the member accounts onl for bending moment deformations. ll other contributions, notabl transverse shear and aial force, are ignored. 5. Linearization. Transverse deflections, rotations and deformations are considered so small that the assumptions of infinitesimal deformations appl. 6. Material model. The material is assumed to be elastic and isotropic. Heterogeneous beams fabricated with several isotropic materials, such as reinforced concrete, are not ecluded The ernoulli-euler eam Theor eam Coordinate Sstems Under transverse loading one of the top surfaces shortens while the other elongates; see Figure Therefore a neutral surface that undergoes no aial strain eists between the top and the bottom. The intersection of this surface with each cross section defines the neutral ais of that cross section. If the beam is homogenous, the neutral ais passes through the centroid of the cross section. If the beam is fabricated of different materials for eample, a reinforced concrete beam the neutral aes passes through the centroid of an equivalent cross section. This topic is covered in Mechanics of Materials tetbooks; for eample eer-johnston-dewolf s Chapter 4. The Cartesian aes for plane beam analsis are chosen as shown in Figure is lies along the longitudinal beam ais, at neutral ais height. is lies in the smmetr plane and points upwards. is z is directed along the neutral ais, forming a RHS sstem with and. The origin is placed at the leftmost section. The total length (or span) of the beam member is called L. 10 4

5 10.3 THE ERNOULLI-EULER EM THEORY pplied load p() z eam cross section Neutral ais Neutral surface L Smmetr plane Figure Terminolog and choice of aes for ernoulli-euler model of plane beam eam Motion The motion under loading of a plane beam member in the, plane is described b the two dimensional displacement field [ ] u(, ), (10.1) v(, ) where u and v are the aial and transverse displacement components, respectivel, of an arbitrar beam material point. The motion in the z direction, which is primarit due to Poisson s ratio effects, is of no interest. The normalit assumption of the ernoulli-euler model can be represented mathematicall as u(, ) = v() = v = θ, v(, ) = v(). (10.2) Note that the slope v = v/ = dv/d of the deflection curve has been identified with the rotation smbol θ. This is permissible because θ represents to first order, according to the kinematic assumptions of this model, the rotation of a cross section about z positive CCW eam Loading The transverse force per unit length that acts on the beam in the + direction is denoted b p(), as illustrated in Figure Point loads and moments acting on isolated beam sections can be represented with Discontinuit Functions (DFs), a topic covered in Lecture 12. ;;;;;;; ;;;;;;; ;;;;;;; Figure simpl supported beam has end ;;;;;;; supports that preclude transverse displacements but permit end rotations. Figure cantilever beam is clamped at one end and free at the other. irplane wings and stabilizers are eamples of this configuration. 10 5

6 Lecture 10: EM DEFLECTIONS: SECOND-ORDER METHOD Support Conditions Support conditions for beams ehibit far more variet than for bar members. Two canonical cases are often encountered in engineering practice: simple support and cantilever support. These are illustrated in Figures 10.4 and 10.5, respectivel. eams often appear as components of skeletal structures called frameworks, in which case the support onditions are of more comple tpe Strains, Stresses and ending Moments The ernoulli-euler or classical model assumes that the internal energ of beam member is entirel due to bending strains and stresses. ending produces aial stresses σ, which will be abbreviated to σ, and aial strains ɛ, which will be abbreviated to ɛ. The strains can be linked to the displacements b differentiating the aial displacement u(): ɛ = ɛ = u = d2 v d 2 = v = κ. (10.3) Here κ denotes the deformed beam ais curvature, which to first order is κ d 2 v/d 2 = v. The bending stress σ = σ is linked to e through the one-dimensional Hooke s law σ = Ee = E d2 v = Eκ, (10.4) d2 where E is the longitudinal elastic modulus. The most important stress resultant in classical beam theor is the bending moment M z, which is defined as the cross section integral M z = σ d = E d2 v 2 d= EI d 2 zz κ. (10.5) Here I zz denotes the moment of inertia 2 top face d of the cross + face section with respect to the z (neutral) ais. The bending M moment M is considered positive if it compresses the upper z portion: > 0, of the beam cross section, as illustrated in z Figure This convention eplains the negative sign of V in the above integral. The product EI zz is called the bending Figure Positive sign rigidit of the beam with respect to fleure about the z ais. convention for M z and V eam Kinematics The kinematic of the classical beam model used in this course is illustrated in Figure dditional details ma be found in Chapter 9 of eer-johnston-dewolf.

This has the advantage of eliminating the sign in two of the ODEs below. V will onl be used occasionall in this course. Note 2: In our beam model the slope v = dv()/d is equal to the rotation θ() of the cross section Differential Equations Summar The following differential relations assume sufficient differentiabilit for the derivatives to eist. This requirement can be alleviated b using Discontinuit Functions (DFs), a topic covered in Lecture 12.

The procedure can be broken down into the following steps. 1. Find the bending moment M z () directl, for eample b statics. 2. Integrate M z /(EI zz ) once to get the slope v () = dv()/d. 3. Integrate once more to get v(). 4. If there are no continuit conditions, the foregoing steps will produce two integration constants. ppl kinematic Cs to find those. If there are continuit conditions, more than two integration constants ma appear. ppl kinematic Cs and continuit conditions to find those. 10 7

Three eamples of this method follow Eample 1: Cantilever Load Under Tip Point Load Constant EI zz L P (a) Problem definition P X (b) FD to find M z() M () z V () Figure eam problem for Eample 1. The problem is defined in Figure 10.8(a). Using the FD pictured in Figure 10.8(b), and stating moment equilibrium with respect to X (to eliminate ab initio the effect of the transverse shear force V at that section) gives M z () = P (10.6) For convenience we scale v() b EI zz so that the ODE linking bending moment to deflection is EI zz v () = M z () = P. Integrating twice: EI zz v () = P2 2 EI zz v() = P3 6 + C 1 + C 1 + C 2 (10.7) The kinematic Cs for the cantilever are v (L) = 0 and v(l) = 0 at the fied end. The first one gives EI zz v (L) = PL 2 /2 + C 1 = 0, whence C 1 = PL 2 /2. The second one gives EI zz v(l) = PL 3 /6 + C 1 L + C 2 = PL 3 /6 + PL 3 /2 + C 2 = 0 whence C 2 = PL 3 /3. Substituting into the epression for v() gives v() = P ( 3 3L 2 + 2L 3) = P (L ) 2 (2L + ) (10.8) 6EI zz 6EI zz Of particular interest is the tip deflection at free end, which is the largest one.

9 10.6 SECOND ORDER METHOD FOR EM DEFLECTIONS Eample 2: Cantilever eam under Triangular Distributed Load The problem is defined in Figure 10.9(a). Using the FD pictured in Figure 10.9(b), again doing moment equilibrium with respect to X gives M z () = 1 2 w() ( 1 3 ) = w 3 6L (10.10) Constant EI zz w() = w /L L w w() = w /L X M () z V () (a) Problem definition (b) FD to find M z () Figure eam problem for Eample 2. Integrating EI zz v () = M z () twice ields EI zz v () = w 4 24L + C 1, EI zz v() = w 5 120L + C 1 + C 2. (10.11) s in Eample 1, the kinematic Cs for the cantilever are v (L) = 0 and v(l) = 0 at the fied end. The first one gives EI zz v (L) = wl 3 /24 + C 1 = 0, whence C 1 = w L 3 /24. The second one gives EI zz v(l) = w L 4 /120 + C 1 L + C 2 = 0 whence C 2 = w L 4 /30. Substituting into the epression for v() we obtain the deflection curve as v() = 1 ( w 5 EI zz L w L 4 w L 5 ) = w EI zz L ( 5 5L 4 + 4L 5 ) (10.12) Of particular interest is the tip deflection at, which is the largest one. Setting = 0 ields v(0) = v = w L 4 (10.13) 30EI zz The negative sign indicates that the beam deflects downward if w >

Using the FD pictured in Figure 10.10(b), and writing down moment equilibrium with respect to X gives the bending moment M z () = R w 2 2 = wl 2 w 2 2 = w (L ) (10.14) 2 Integrating EI zz v () = M z () twice ields EI zz v () = wl2 4 EI zz v() = wl3 12 w C 1 = w 2 12 (3L 2) + C 1, w C 1 + C 2 = w 3 24 (2L ) + C 1 + C 2. (10.15) The kinematic Cs for a SS beam are v = v(0) = 0 and v = v(l) = 0. The first one gives C 2 = 0 and the second one C 1 = wl 3 /24. Substituting into the epression for v() gives, after some algebraic simplifications, v() = w (L )(L 2 + L 2 ) (10.16) 24 EI zz Note that since v() = v(l ) the deflection curve is smmetric about the midspan C. The midspan deflection is the largest one: 5w L4 v C = v(l/2) = (10.17) 384 EI zz The negative sign indicates that the beam deflects downward if w> ssessment of The Second Order Method Good Points. The governing ODE v () = M z ()/EI zz is of second order, so it onl needs to be integrated twice, and onl two constants of integration appear. Finding M z () directl from statics is particularl straightforward for cantilever beams since the reactions at the free end are zero
