APPLICATIONS


ELASTIC CURVE


• The deflection diagram of the longitudinal axis that passes through the centroid of each cross-sectional area of the beam is called the elastic curve, which is characterized by the deflection and slope along the curve

ELASTIC CURVE (cont)


• Moment-curvature relationship:

– Sign convention:

ELASTIC CURVE (cont)


• Consider a segment of width dx, the strain in are ds, located at a position y from the neutral axis is ε = (ds’ – ds)/ds. However, ds = dx = ρdθ and ds’ = (ρ-y) dθ, and so ε = [(ρ – y) dθ – ρdθ ] / (ρdθ), or

• Comparing with the Hooke’s Law ε = σ / E and the flexure formula σ = -My/I

• Boundary Conditions:

– The integration constants can be determined by imposing the boundary conditions, or

– Continuity condition at specific locations

• Maximum slope and displacement occur at for which A(x =0),

• If this beam was designed without a factor of safety by assuming the allowable normal stress is equal to the yield stress is 250 MPa; then a W310 x 39 would be found to be adequate (I = 84.4(106)mm4)
