Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Using Castigliano's First Theorem, calculate deflection for a cantilever beam with a point load at its free end. Assume L = 5 m, E = 200 GPa, I = 5 x 10⁻⁶ m⁴.

💡 Hint: Ensure to convert units appropriately when substituting.

Question 2

Consider a complex truss with multiple members subjected to external loads. Apply Castigliano's Second Theorem and outline the steps to compute deflections without solving directly using basic equilibrium.

💡 Hint: Breaking the problem into smaller parts will make it easier.
