• Beam is concave upwards where the bending
moment is positive and concave downwards
where it is negative.
• Maximum curvature occurs where the moment
magnitude is a maximum.
• An equation for the beam shape or elastic curve
is required to determine maximum deflection
and slope.

• Three cases for statically determinant beams,
– Simply supported beam
y A = 0,
yB = 0
– Overhanging beam
y A = 0,
yB = 0
– Cantilever beam
y A = 0, θ A = 0
• More complicated loadings require multiple
integrals and application of requirement for
continuity of displacement and slope.

Statically Indeterminate Beams
• Consider beam with fixed support at A and roller
support at B.
• From free-body diagram, note that there are four
unknown reaction components.
• Conditions for static equilibrium yield
∑ Fx = 0 ∑ Fy = 0 ∑ M A = 0
The beam is statically indeterminate.
• Also have the beam deflection equation,

three additional equations from the boundary

Sample Problem 9.3
SOLUTION:
• Develop the differential equation for
the elastic curve (will be functionally
dependent on the reaction at A).
• Integrate twice and apply boundary
conditions to solve for reaction at A
and to obtain the elastic curve.
For the uniform beam, determine the
reaction at A, derive the equation for
the elastic curve, and determine the
slope at A. (Note that the beam is
statically indeterminate to the first
degree)
• Evaluate the slope at A.

Method of Superposition
Principle of Superposition:
• Deformations of beams subjected to
combinations of loadings may be
obtained as the linear combination of
the deformations from the individual
loadings
• Procedure is facilitated by tables of
solutions for common types of
loadings and supports.
