Chapter Objectives

✓ Determine the deflection and slope at specific points on beams


and shafts, using various analytical methods including:
➢ The integration method
➢ The use of discontinuity functions
➢ The method of superposition

✓ Determine the same, using a semi-graphical technique, called the


moment-area method.

METHOD OF SUPERPOSITION

• Necessary conditions to be satisfied:


1. The load w(x) is linearly related to the deflection
v(x),
2. The load is assumed not to change significantly the
original geometry of the beam of shaft.

• Then, it is possible to find the slope and displacement


at a point on a beam subjected to several different
loadings by algebraically adding the effects of its
various component parts.
