We use the equation given above and use the result that when $y$ is small $$ \frac{1}{R} \sim \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}} . \text { Thus, } \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}=\frac{N(x)}{E I} $$ (a) Here $N(x)=N_{0}$ is a constant. Then integration gives, $$ \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{N_{0} x}{E I}+C_{1} $$ But $\quad\left(\frac{d y}{d x}\right)=0$ for $x=0$, so $C_{1}=0$. Integrating again, $$ y=\frac{N_{0} x^{2}}{2 E I} $$ where we have used $y=0$ for $x=0$ to set the constant of integration at zero. This is the equation of a parabola. The sag of the free end is $$ \lambda=y(x=l)=\frac{N_{0} l^{2}}{2 E I} $$ (b) In this case $N(x)=F(l-x)$ because the load $F$ at the extremity is balanced by a similar force at $F$ directed upward and they constitute a couple. Then $$ \frac{d^{2} y}{d x^{2}}=\frac{F(l-x)}{E I} $$ Integrating, $\frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{F\left(L x-x^{2} / 2\right)}{E I}+C_{1}$ As before $C_{1}=0 .$ Integrating again, using $y=0$ for $x=0$ $$ y=\frac{F\left(\frac{b^{2}}{2}-\frac{x^{3}}{6}\right)}{E I} \text { here } \lambda=\frac{F l^{3}}{3 E I} $$ Here for a square cross section $$ I=\int_{-a / 2}^{a / 2} z^{2} a d z=a^{4} / 12 $$

Elastic Deformations of a Solid Body
Consider a simply supported beam under a uniform distributed load q as shown below. Considering the following trial functions and using the Least Square and Galerkin methods, a) show that these functions satisfy the boundary conditions, b) determine the elastic curve of the beam, c) the maximum deflection, d) plot the elastic curve from part (b) versus exact solution. N_1(x) = sin(pi*x/L) and N_2(x) = sin(3*pi*x/L) EXACT Solution y = -qx/(24EI) * (L^3 - 2Lx^2 + x^3) y' = -q/(24EI) * (L^3 - 6Lx^2 + 4x^3) delta_c = delta_max = 5qL^4/(384EI) theta_A = theta_B = qL^3/(24EI)

Consider the transverse displacement of a vibrating beam of length L whose ends are in simply-supported conditions: The beam is set in motion with initial velocity g(x) and initial displacement given by f(x), 0 < x < L. The transverse displacement u(x,t) can satisfy the following governing equation, initial and boundary conditions: 0 < x < L, t > 0 where: u(0,t) = 0, u(L,t) = 0, u(x,0) = f(x), u'(x,0) = g(x), 0 < x < L where E is the bending stiffness, p is the density, and A is the cross-sectional area of the beam. Using the method of separation of variables (i.e. let u(x,t) = X(x)T(t)), derive the following ordinary differential equations: d^2X/dx^2 + a^2X = 0 dT/dt + a^2T = 0 where a is a positive real constant. Determine the general solutions of the ordinary differential equations. Determine the fundamental solutions of the partial differential equation and boundary conditions. Determine a formal series expansion for the transverse displacement u(x,t) that also satisfies the initial conditions.
