Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A cantilever beam of length L is loaded with a triangular load varying from 0 to w. Calculate the deflection at the free end using Theorem II.
💡 Hint: Break down the loads and analyze segments independently.
For two points along a simply supported beam with varying moment, show how to apply Theorem II to find deflection between those two points.
💡 Hint: Keep in mind that the area must be segmented accurately.
