  2. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    The built-in beams shown in the figure below are statically indeterminate. To determine the stresses and deflections of such beams, the most direct method is to solve the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation with appropriate boundary conditions. But direct analytical solutions of the beam equation are possible only for the simplest cases.

  3. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    The starting point is the relation from Euler-Bernoulli beam theory = Where is the deflection and is the bending moment. This equation [7] is simpler than the fourth-order beam equation and can be integrated twice to find if the value of as a function of is known.

  4. Theorem of three moments - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem_of_three_moments

    where a 1 is the area on the bending moment diagram due to vertical loads on AB, a 2 is the area due to loads on BC, x 1 is the distance from A to the centroid of the bending moment diagram of beam AB, x 2 is the distance from C to the centroid of the area of the bending moment diagram of beam BC. The second equation is more general as it does ...

  5. Beam (structure) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beam_(structure)

    A beam of PSL lumber installed to replace a load-bearing wall. The primary tool for structural analysis of beams is the Euler–Bernoulli beam equation. This equation accurately describes the elastic behaviour of slender beams where the cross sectional dimensions are small compared to the length of the beam.

  6. Flexural rigidity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flexural_rigidity

    Although the moment () and displacement generally result from external loads and may vary along the length of the beam or rod, the flexural rigidity (defined as ) is a property of the beam itself and is generally constant for prismatic members. However, in cases of non-prismatic members, such as the case of the tapered beams or columns or ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    Strength depends upon material properties. The strength of a material depends on its capacity to withstand axial stress, shear stress, bending, and torsion.The strength of a material is measured in force per unit area (newtons per square millimetre or N/mm², or the equivalent megapascals or MPa in the SI system and often pounds per square inch psi in the United States Customary Units system).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_chemistry

    Structural chemistry is a part of chemistry and deals with spatial structures of molecules (in the gaseous, liquid or solid state) and solids (with extended structures that cannot be subdivided into molecules). For structure elucidation [1] a range of different methods is used.
