MT-335-T4-P2
If the load P was closer to the left end than to the right end, then all the information given can still be used, but with a mirror image of the diagram, in which everything horizontal, is reversed ; a is switched with b , and x is switched with v .
MT-335-T4-P3 Deflection decreases with increasing modulus of elasticity E ; values of E are obtained from tabulated data, as described in Topic 2, noting that steels in general, have the same value of E = 207 GPa = 30,000 ksi , but E varies for different cast irons, and for different aluminum alloys. Deflection decreases with increasing moment of inertia I , which can be obtained, for basic geometric sections, from Text Appendix 1 ; values of I , for some standard commercial steel sections, are give in Text Appendix 16, which includes channel sections, wide-flange sections, rectangular structural tubing, and round pipe. Deflection increases with increasing overall length, or span, of the beam. Example A The beam shown is made from 3 2 1/4 rectangular steel structural tubing, placed upright. Determine the deflection at B .
MT-335-T4-P4
Example B For the same beam shown in Example A , determine the deflection at C .
MT-335-T4-P5 Example C The beam shown is made from Grade 30 , A48-94a , gray cast iron, and has a rectangular cross-section, with a base of 60 mm , and a height of 200 mm . Determine the deflection at the free end A .
