13.1 Itroduction
Under the action of applied forces the axis of a beam deflects from its initial position. Basic differential equations for the deflection of beams will be developed in this chapter.

13 .2 Equation of the Elastic Curve

When a beam is loaded perpendicular to its axis ,as shown in Fig.(13-1) it defects from its initial position.

Fig(13-1) The deflection of the beam due to the applied loads should not be excessive as it is always recommended that the max. deflection of the beam should not exceed 1/360 of its length. In order to derive the equation of the elastic curve consider any two points A and B on the curve as shown in Fig(13-2).

Fig(13-2) For convenience the arc AB whose length is ds is enlarged as shown in Fig(13-3). Let the length ds subtend an angle d , then ds = d 1 d d dx or (13-1) ds dx ds Assuming that ds tends to zero , dy we have = tan dx Fig(13-3)

Methods of Computing the Deflection

The two methods that will be employed in computing the deflection of a loaded beam are the double integration method and the moment area method. 13.3.1 Double Integration Method d2y From equation M = EI . If the bending moment can be expressed dx 2 as a function of x , successive integration will give expressions for dy EI and EIy . The constants of integration may be determined from dx the end fixing conditions. dy M ( x ) dx C1 EI dx EIy = M( x ) dx dy C1x C2 Where y is the deflection of the beam , and C1 & C2 are constant of integration.

13-3-2 Moment Area Method The alternative method of computing the deflection of beams is the moment area method. The deflection computed by the moment area method can be considerably simplified especially if the deflection is required at a specified point on the beam.

Fig(13-20) Consider any two points C & D on the elastic cure of the beam, as shown in Fig(13-20b) which is loaded arbitrarily as shown in Fig(13-20b) if tangents are taken at points A & B, they will intersect at an angle d . The arc length of CD = ds The deflection of any point on the beam is so small. Hence the length ds = dx ds = d 1 d d ds dx 1 M i.e. hence (from article 8-3 ) EI
