Hello PF,
First time here posting. So I have a question about trying to calculate the deflection of this prismatic beam by hand using superposition. I know I can figure it out in SolidWorks, but I also want to know I would do it by hand, or at least the general process. The angled bar b is really throwing me off.
So when calculating the total deflection, δT, at end of bar a, is it the sum of the deflections due to beam a, b, and c?
Can I assume the angular deflection, θ, are the same for bars a, b, and c?
