Deflection of Symmetrical Section Beams
Methods: 1) Successive Integration
2) Singularity Functions (Macauleys Method)
3) Principle of Virtual Work
One of the most important engineering equations which form the basis
for the elastic analysis is

The beam curvature (1/R) is directly proportional to bending moment
m and inversely proportional to the flexural rigidity of the beam EI

SINGULARITY FUNCTIONS
Ex 13.6 shows that the double integration method becomes extremely lengthy when even
relatively small complications such as the lack of symmetry due to an offset load are
introduced. Again the addition of a second concentrated load on the beam of Ex. 13.6 would
result in a total of six equations for slope and deflection producing six arbitrary constants.
Clearly the computation involved in determining these constants would be tedious, even though
a simply supported beam carrying two concentrated loads is a comparatively simple practical
case. An alternative approach is to introduce so-called singularity or half-range functions. Such
functions were first applied to beam deflection problems by Macauley in 1919 and hence the
method is frequently known as Macauleys method.

Numerical Example 2
The beam shown in the following Figure has a flexural rigidity, EI of 425 x 1012 Nmm2.
Calculate the deflection at a point B and at point D using Macauleys method.
RA+RC=80+160+108=320kN
0AM 80 2+160x10+10 8 6-8RC=0; RC=280kN and RA=40kN
Mx = 40x-80[x-2]+280[x-8]-10[x-2]([x-2]/2)= 40x-80[x-2]+280[x-8]-5[x-2]2
