EI in Structural Analysis Explained

This document provides lecture notes on structural analysis II. It presents the general expressions for the slope, bending moment, and shear force of a deflected beam based on its displacement, slope, and higher order derivatives. It then uses these expressions to derive the initial parameters (C1-C4) of the beam's left end based on its displacement, slope, bending moment, and shear force at x=0. Finally, it substitutes the derived constants back into the solution for the beam's homogeneous differential equation to obtain the overall solution for the beam's deflection y0 as a function of its initial parameters and position x.

Knowing that = ϕ ( x) , 2

for the slope of the deflected line ϕ ( x ) , for the bending moment M ( x ) and for the shear force
Q ( x ) at any point of distance x at the beam axis. Taking in these equations x = 0 , bearing in
mind that sin 0 = 0 , sh 0 = 0 , cos 0 = 1 , ch 0 = 1 and cos 0 ⋅ ch 0 = 1 , we get the initial parameters
of the left end of the beam as follows:
y0 (0) = y0 = C1 ;
y0′ (0) = ϕ0 = α ⋅ C2 + α ⋅ C3 ;
M
y0′′ ( x) = − 0 = 2α 2 ⋅ C4 ;
EI
Q
y0′′′( x) = − 0 = 2α 3 ⋅ C2 − 2α 3 ⋅ C3 .

After simple transformations:
y0 = C1 ;
ϕ0
= C2 + C3 ;
α
M
− 2 0 = C4 ;
2α ⋅ EI
Q
− 3 0 = C2 − C3 .
2α ⋅ EI

Now expressing the constants C1-C4 as unknowns, from the above system of equations we have:
C1 = y0 ;
ϕ Q
C2 = 0 − 3 0 ;
2α 4α ⋅ EI
ϕ Q
C3 = 0 + 3 0
2α 4α ⋅ EI
M
C4 = − 2 0 .
2α ⋅ EI

Substituting these results in the above expression for the solution of homogeneous differential
equation y0 ( x) we get:
⎡ ⎛ϕ Q ⎞ ⎤ ⎡⎛ ϕ0 Q0 ⎞ M0 ⎤
y0 ( x) = ch α x ⎢ y0 cos α x + ⎜ 0 − 3 0 ⎟ sin α x ⎥ + sh α x ⎢⎜ 2α + 3 ⎟ cos α x − 2 sin α x ⎥ .
⎣ ⎝ 2α 4α ⋅ EI ⎠ ⎦ ⎣⎝ 4α ⋅ EI ⎠ 2α ⋅ EI ⎦

After regrouping of the members about the initial parameters the solution becomes:
y0 ( x) = ch α x ⋅ cos α x ⋅ y0 +
( ch α x ⋅ sin α x + sh α x ⋅ cos α x ) ϕ0 +
2 α

( ch α x ⋅ sin α x − sh α x ⋅ cos α x ) ⎛ − Q0 ⎞ + sh α x ⋅ sin α x ⎛ − M 0 ⎞ .
