Question
The frame is made from two segments, each of length L and flexural stiffness EI. If it is subjected to the uniform distributed load, determine the horizontal displacement of point B. Consider only the effect of bending.
Solution
The first step in solving 14.6 problem number 42 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The frame is made from two segments, each of length L and flexural stiffness EI. If it is subjected to the uniform distributed load, determine the horizontal displacement of point B. Consider only the effect of bending.
From the textbook chapter METHOD OF VIRTUAL FORCES APPLIED TO TRUSSES you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
