Beam Deformation
„ Introduction
– In the previous chapter our concern with
beams was to determine the flexural and
transverse shear stresses is straight
homogenous beams of uniform cross
section.
– We also dealt with various types of
composite beams, and we’re able to find
these stresses with some method such as
the transformed section.

Beam Deformation

„ Introduction
– In this chapter our concern will be beam
deformation (or deflection).
– There are important relations between
applied load and stress (flexural and shear)
and the amount of deformation or
deflection that a beam can exhibit.

Beam Deformation

„ Introduction
– In design of beams, it is important
sometimes to limit the deflection for
specified load.
– So, in these situations, it is not enough
only to design for the strength (flexural
normal and shearing stresses), but also for
excessive deflections of beams.

Beam Deformation

„ Introduction
– Figure 1 shows generally two examples of
how the amount of deflections increase
with the applied loads.
– Failure to control beam deflections within
proper limits in building construction is
frequently reflected by the development of
cracks in plastered walls and ceilings.

Beam Deformation

„ Introduction
– Beams in many machines must deflect just
right amount for gears or other parts to
make proper contact.
– In many instances the requirements for a
beam involve:
• A given load-carrying capacity, and
• A specified maximum deflection.

Beam Deformation

„ Methods for Determining Beam

Deflections
– The deflection of a beam depends on
four general factors:
1. Stiffness of the materials that the beam is
made of,
2. Dimensions of the beam,
3. Applied loads, and
4. Supports

„ Methods for Determining Beam

Deflections
– Three methods are commonly used to
find beam deflections:
1) The double integration method,
2) The singularity function method, and
3) The superposition method

Beam Deformation

„ General Load-Deflection Relationships

– Whenever a real beam is loaded in any
manner, the beam will deform in that an
initially straight beam will assume some
deformed shape such as those illustrated
(with some exaggerations) in Figure 1
– In a well-designed structural beam the
deformation of the beam is usually
undetectable to the naked eye.

„ General Load-Deflection Relationships
– On the other hand, the bending of a
swimming pool diving board is quite
observable.
– The word deflection generally refers to the
deformed shape of a member subjected to
bending loads.
– The deflection is used in reference to the
deformed shape and position of the
longitudinal neutral axis of a beam.

Beam Deformation

„ General Load-Deflection Relationships

– In the deformed condition the neutral axis,
which his initially a straight longitudinal
line, assumes some particular shape that is
called the deflection curve.
– The derivation of this curve from its initial
position at any point is called the deflection
at that point.

„ Elastic Curve
– The Differential Equation
• The differential equation that governs beam
deflection will now be developed.
• The basis for this differential equation, plus
more other approximations, is that plane
sections within the beam remain plane before
and after loading, and the deformation of the
fibers (elongation and contraction) is
proportional to the distance from N.A.

„ Development of the Differential

Equation
– In region of constant bending moment, the
elastic curve is an arc of a circle of radius ρ
as shown in Fig. 4.
– Since the portion AB of the beam is bent
only with couples, sections A and B remain
plane as indicated earlier.

„ Development of the Differential

Equation
– Eq. 4 for the elastic curvature of the elastic
curve is useful only when the bending
moment is constant for the interval of the
beam involved.
– For most beams, however, the moment is
a function of position along the beam as
was seen in Chapter 8.

– In Chapter 8, a method based on the

starting from the load diagram and drawing

construction of slope diagram and

Equation
1. The square of the slope of the beam is
negligible compared to unity.
2. The beam deflection due to shearing stresses
is negligible (plane section remains plane)
3. The values of E and I remain constant along
the beam. If they are constant, and can be
expressed as functions of x, then a solution
using Eq. 8 is possible.

– Definition:
• A boundary condition is defined as a known
value for the deflection y or the slope θ at a
specified location along the length of the beam.
One boundary condition can be used to

(b) Maximum deflection occurs when the
slope is zero. So setting dy/dx = θ = 0 in
Eq. 14c, gives
