EXAMPLE 4-7
Assumptions: Ignore the beam weight as negligible compared to the applied load.
Solution: See Figures 4-22d and 4-27, and Mathcad file EX0407.
1. Write the equations for the load function in terms of equations 3.17 and integrate the resulting function four
times using equations 3.18 to obtain the shear, moment, slope, and deflection functions.
q(x) = R1<x - 0>-1 - w<x - a>0 + R2<x - b>-1 + R3<x - l>-1 (a)
V(x) = R1<x - 0>0 - w<x - a>1 + R2<x - b>0 + R3<x - l>0 + C1 (b)
M(x) = R1<x - 0>1 - w<x - a>2/2 + R2<x - b>1 + R3<x - l>1 + C1x + C2 (c)
(x) = (R1<x - 0>2/2 - w<x - a>3/6 + R2<x - b>2/2 + R3<x - l>2/2 + C1x2/2 + C2x + C3 ) / EI (d)
y(x) = (R1<x - 0>3/6 - w<x - a>4/24 + R2<x - b>3/6 + R3<x - l>3/6 + C1x3/6 + C2x2/2 + C3x + C4 ) / EI

2. There are 3 reaction forces and 4 constants of integration to be found. The constants C1 and C2 are zero
because the reaction forces and moments acting on the beam are included in the loading function. This
leaves 5 unknowns to be found.
3. If we consider the conditions at a point infinitesimally to the left of x = 0 (denoted as x = 0 -), the shear and
moment will both be zero. The same conditions obtain at a point infinitesimally to the right of x = l
(denoted as x = l+). Also, the deflection y must be zero at all three supports. These observations provide
the 5 boundary conditions needed to evaluate the 3 reaction forces and 2 remaining integration constants:
i.e., when x = 0 -, V = 0, M = 0; when x = 0, y = 0; when x = b, y = 0; when x = l, y = 0; when x = l +, V = 0, M =
0.
4. Substitute the boundary conditions x = 0, y = 0, x = b, y = 0, and x = l, y = 0 into e.
At x = 0: y(0) = 0 = R1<0 - 0>3/6 - w<0 - a>4/24 + R2<0 - b>3/6 + R3<0 - l>3/6 + C3(0) + C4 (f)

5. Two more equations can be written using equations c and b and noting that at point l+, infinitesimally
beyond the right end of the beam, both V and M are zero. We can substitute l for l+ since their
difference is vanishingly small.
