QUESTION:

Determine the equations of the elastic curve using the coordinates \(x_{1}\) and \(x_{2}\). What is the slope at B and deflection at C? EI is constant.

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 8

A straightforward equilibrium calculation identifies the reaction force at the fully fixed support , and the reaction moment;  (CCW).

Elastic curve parameters

Consider the elastic curve over A to C, defined in terms of the coordinate;  (identical to first part of previous solution) and in the same direction over B to Cefined in terms of the coordinate; .
