Question
Before the uniform distributed load is applied on the beam, there is a small gap of 0.2 mm between the beam and the post at B. Determine the support reactions at A, B, and C. The post at B has a diameter of 40 mm, and the moment of inertia of the beam is \(I=875\left(10^{6}\right) \mathrm{mm}^{4}\). The post and the beam are made of material having a modulus of elasticity of E = 200 GPa.
Solution
The first step in solving 12.9 problem number 20 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Before the uniform distributed load is applied on the beam, there is a small gap of 0.2 mm between the beam and the post at B. Determine the support reactions at A, B, and C. The post at B has a diameter of 40 mm, and the moment of inertia of the beam is \(I=875\left(10^{6}\right) \mathrm{mm}^{4}\). The post and the beam are made of material having a modulus of elasticity of E = 200 GPa.
From the textbook chapter STATICALLY INDETERMINATE BEAMS AND SHAFTSMETHOD OF SUPERPOSITION you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
