This course presents the fundamental principles of structural analysis, determination of reactions, internal forces and deflections under the static load conditions. The course is mainly focused to ...

CONCLUSION: If shear forces exist at a cross section of a beam, then shear stresses must develop in the beam as it deflects in order to satisfy the requirements for the E-B theory. A magnified copy of ...

Focus, in particular, on the deflection at the right end of the beam, as seen below. Here, you can easily see that now the beam cross sections remain perpendicular to the neutral plane of the beam as ...

These problems involve differential equations of the fourth order, which can describe various physical phenomena, such as beam deflection ... global bifurcation theory, highlighting the ...
