________________________________________________________________________ PROBLEMS (12.84 through *12.86) A beam is supported and loaded as shown in Figs. P12.84 through P12.86. Employ Castigliano's theorem to determine the reactions. SOLUTION (12.84) Consider RB as redundant. x w MA B L A 1 M = RB x − wx 2 2 ∂M ∂RB = x RB RA So, L EIvB = 0 = ∫ ( RB x 2 − 0 R L3 wL4 wx 3 )dx = B − 2 3 8 or 3 RB = wL ↑ 8 Statics: 5 RA = wL ↑ 8 1 M A = wL2 8 SOLUTION (12.85) Consider RB as redundant. M0 MA A B L x RA M = − RB x + M 0 ∂M ∂RB = − x RB Therefore L 1 1 EIvB = 0 = ∫ ( RB x 2 − M 0 x)dx = RB L3 − M 0 L2 0 3 2 Solving RB = 3 M0 ↓ 2 L RA = 3 M0 ↑ 2 L Statics: MA = 1 M0 2 Continued on next slide Excerpts from this work may be reproduced by instructors for distribution on a not-for-profit basis for testing or instructional purposes only to students enrolled in courses for which the textbook has been adopted.
