The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

When a 'beam' experiences a bending moment it will change its shape and internal stresses (forces) will be developed. The photograph illustrates the shape change of elements of a beam in bending. Note ...

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 ...
