The deflection is measured from the original neutral surface of the beam to the neutral surface of the deformed beam. The configuration assumed by the deformed neutral surface is known as the elastic curve of the beam.
Methods of Determining Beam Deflections Numerous methods are available for the determination of beam deflections. These methods include: 1. Double-integration method 2. Area-moment method 3. Conjugate-beam method 4. Strain-energy method (Castigliano's Theorem) 5. Method of superposition Of these methods, the first three are the ones that are commonly used.
where x and y are the coordinates shown in the figure of the elastic curve of the beam under load, y is the deflection of the beam at any distance x. E = the modulus of elasticity of the beam, I = represent the moment of inertia about the neutral axis, M = bending moment at a distance x from the end of the beam.

Problem: For the previous problem, obtain the maximum deflection of the beam.
Solution; For simply supported beams, the point of maximum deflection is where the slope of the tangent to the elastic curve is zero, or dy/dx = 0

EI dy/dx = 200 x 2 - 100 <x-2>2 - 75 <x-3> 3 - 1426.67 0 = 200x2 - 100 <x-2>2 - 75 <x-3> 3 - 1426.67 x = 2.67 m which is outside the range 0 x < 2, hence, analysis not correct

- 400 + (400)2 - 4(100)(-1826.67) x = ------------------------------------------------------------------ = 2.72 m which is within 2 x < 3, 2(100) therefore, analysis is correct.

Problem: For the beam loaded as shown in the figure below, (a) Draw the moment diagram by parts with respect to left support A . (b) Compute the deviation of point A with respect to a tangent drawn at point B. (c) Compute the deflection at 3m from left support of the beam. Assume constant EI.
Solution:
Figure:
- The moment diagram due to R2 of 700N is triangular with moment at A = 700(4) = 2800 N.-m. - The moment diagram due to 500 N is triangular with moment at A = -500(2) = -1000 N.-m. - The moment diagram due to 400N/m is parabolic with moment at A = -(400)(3)2 = - 1800 N.-m.

By Theorem II
EI t A/B = (2800)(4)(4/3) + (-1000)(2)(2/3) + 1/3(-1800)(3)(3/4) = 5450 N-m (c) Deflection at point C, 3m from left support EI t C/B = (2800/4)((1)(1/3) = 116.67 by similar triangles: tA/B /4 = (tC/B + c)/1

Problem : For the beam shown in figure below, compute the value of P that will cause the tangent to the elastic curve over support C to be horizontal. What will then be the value of EI under the 100-lb load? Figure: Solution:

100 lb. P
MC = 0
RA (10) = (100)(6) - P(3) RA = 60 - 0.3P
The moment diagram by parts with respect to point c is shown at the left. If the tangent to the elastic curve over support C is horizontal, then; EI t A/C = 0 0 = (600 3P)(10)(20/3) + (-600)(6)(8) P = 56 lbs. A thus: 600 3P = 432 and, under the 100-load: EI B = EI t B/C = (432)(6)(4) + (172.8)(6)(2) (600)(6)(4) = - 979.2 lbs. ft3 ( negative sign means that point B in the elastic curve is below the tangent drawn at C.)
