How to Derive Beam Deflection Formula for a Double Cantilever Simple Beam?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on deriving the beam deflection formula for a double cantilever simple beam. The original poster has the formula y = (FL^3)/(48—Iε) but is unsure how to connect it with other equations like M ymax / I and 1/p = M/EI. Respondents question the validity of the provided formula and suggest that the poster clarify whether they are looking for the derivation of d^2y/dx^2 = M/EI. They also recommend considering the two beams as springs in parallel or series to determine the effective spring constant. Overall, the conversation emphasizes the need for clarity in the formulas and the correct approach to the derivation.

hi i am currently trying to mathcamatically derive the beam deflection formula for a double cantilever simple beam. i have the beam deflection formula y= (FL^3)/(48—Iε) as well as M ymax / I as well as 1/p = M/EI but am not sure how to link them together. any help will be apprecieated
Thanx :)

hi i am currently trying to mathcamatically derive the beam deflection formula for a double cantilever simple beam What's that? Do you mean a beam on two simple supports?[/color] i have the beam deflection formula y= (FL^3)/(48—Iε)what's this? It looks something like the deflection at centerline of a simply supported beam with a concentrated load F at its center, but your denominator makes no sense. [/color] as well as? = [/color] M ymax / I as well as 1/p = M/EI but am not sure how to link them together. any help will be apprecieated
Thanx :)
See my questions noted in red. Are you looking for the derivation of the beam deflection formula d^2y/dx^2 = M/EI ? You might want to google it.
 
you definitely need to consier the two beams as springs in parallel or series, then get the effective spring constant
 
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'
TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
