Step 1
- Length of the beam, \( L = 8 \, \text{m} \) - Uniform distributed load, \( w = 8 \, \text{kN/m} \) - The load is applied over half of the beam's length, i.e., \( L/2 = 4 \, \text{m} \). Show more…

Before the uniform distributed load is applied on the beam, there is a small gap of $0.2 \mathrm{mm}$ between the beam and the post at $B$. Determine the support reactions at $A, B,$ and $C .$ The post at $B$ has a diameter of $40 \mathrm{mm}$, and the moment of inertia of the beam is $I=875\left(10^{6}\right) \mathrm{mm}^{4} .$ The post and the beam are made of material having a modulus of elasticity of $E=200 \mathrm{GPa}$.
The beam is made of a ceramic material. If it is subjected to the elastic loading shown, and the moment of inertia is $I$ and the beam has a measured maximum deflection $\Delta$ at its center, determine the modulus of elasticity, $E .$ The supports at $A$ and $D$ exert only vertical reactions on the beam.
