Deections in beams (Singularity functions) (Strength of Materials - II, Final Exam-39-2, 14-06-2005) Problem :

For the beam and loading shown, determine (a) the reaction at the roller support, (b) the deection at point B using singularity-functions.

1. Statically indeterminate beam

Solution :

The shear force and bending moment equations

The bending moment
