Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a beam with deflections of 5 mm and 10 mm due to forces of 100 N and 200 N respectively, what will be the total deflection at a point if both forces are applied simultaneously?
💡 Hint: Apply the principle of superposition directly.
A beam is subjected to varying loads. Calculate the influence coefficients at two different points of measurements after applying a force and discuss how they may differ for varying load locations.
💡 Hint: Consider how varying load positions could reinforce or mitigate the effects observed.
