Cantilever beam (statically indeterminate)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the loading case of a statically indeterminate cantilever beam. The user presents a bending moment equation and seeks help with determining maximum deflection and support reactions. A key suggestion is to use superposition, treating the problem as a sum of two independent loadings. The user struggles with equilibrium equations and is advised to equate deflections from both load scenarios. The conversation emphasizes the importance of applying superposition to solve the problem effectively.

hello everyone,
i have a small problem in calculating a particular loading case of a cantilever beam which is shown on the attached image.

i have found many loading cases of cantilever beams which i am able to solve, however for this one i couldn't find anything unfortunately.

the bending moment equation which i have written is:
M(x)= -Mw+Rwx-R[x-0.4] which i hope is correct



determined needs to be:
a) The maximum deflection at the loading point (695N at 0.4)
b)The maximum values of the reactions at the supports.

for any hints and advices i will be grateful

best regards
durka

The answer is superposition. You know (or can derive) the equation(s) for a cantilever beam (w/o the 2nd support) with a point load. Consider this case to be the sum of two independent loadings, the 2nd of which is at the end of the beam in the upward direction (instead of the support), with a physical constraint that the net displacement of the end of the beam is zero.
 
hello hotvette,
thanks for your quick answer.

i have solved a part of the question, but i can not continue because i don't have the equilibrium equations.

i came to the point:
EI DELTA=Mw0.08-Rw0.0106+Rp0.0106-Rp0.032

i don't get any further because the equilibrium equations that i have used don't make any sense so i canot solve it.

i know that i must replace either Rp or Rw and Mw from the equilibrium equations
 
You cannot solve this from the equilibrium equations alone.

If you follow Hotvette's suggestion an use superposition, you should be able to calculate the cantilever deflection from the load acting without the roller support and equate it to the deflection from the roller support reaction acting without the load.
 
Here's a video by “driving 4 answers” who seems to me to be well versed on the details of Internal Combustion engines. The video does cover something that's a bit shrouded in 'conspiracy theory', and he touches on that, but of course for phys.org, I'm only interested in the actual science involved. He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...
Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'
Hi everyone, online I ve seen some images about 2 stroke carbureted turbo (motorcycle derivation engine). Now.. In the past in this forum some members spoke about turbocharging 2 stroke but not in sufficient detail. The intake and the exhaust are open at the same time and there are no valves like a 4 stroke. But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
TL;DR Summary: Heard in the news about using sonar to locate the sub Hello : After the sinking of the ship near the Greek shores , carrying of alot of people , there was another accident that include 5 tourists and a submarine visiting the titanic , which went missing Some technical notes captured my attention, that there us few sonar devices are hearing sounds repeated every 30 seconds , but they are not able to locate the source Is it possible that the sound waves are reflecting from...
