Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A point load P is applied at a distance L/2 on a simply supported beam. Derive the expression for the deflection at the midpoint using the Dirac delta function.
💡 Hint: Make sure to integrate appropriately considering the properties of the delta function.
Question 2
Compare the effects of a point load versus a uniformly distributed load on a beam in terms of deflection.
💡 Hint: Using examples may help clarify their distinct impacts.
