4 1. Introduction 1.1 Purpose The moment-area method, developed by Otto Mohr in 1868, is a powerful tool for finding the deflections of structures primarily subjected to bending. Its ease of finding deflections of determinate structures makes it ideal for solving indeterminate structures, using compatibility of displacement. Otto C. Mohr ( ) Mohr s Theorems also provide a relatively easy way to derive many of the classical methods of structural analysis. For example, we will use Mohr s Theorems later to derive the equations used in Moment Distribution. The derivation of Clayperon s Three Moment Theorem also follows readily from application of Mohr s Theorems. 4

6 . Theory.1 asis We consider a length of beam A in its undeformed and deformed state, as shown on the next page. Studying this diagram carefully, we note: 1. A is the original unloaded length of the beam and A is the deflected position of A when loaded.. The angle subtended at the centre of the arc A O is θ and is the change in curvature from A to. 3. PQ is a very short length of the beam, measured as ds along the curve and along the x-axis. dx 4. dθ is the angle subtended at the centre of the arc ds. 5. dθ is the change in curvature from P to Q. 6. M is the average bending moment over the portion dx between P and Q. 7. The distance is known as the vertical intercept and is the distance from to the produced tangent to the curve at A which crosses under at C. It is measured perpendicular to the undeformed neutral axis (i.e. the x-axis) and so is vertical. 6

8 . Mohr s First Theorem (Mohr I) Development Noting that the angles are always measured in radians, we have: ds = R dθ ds R = d θ From the Euler-ernoulli Theory of ending, we know: 1 M = R Hence: M dθ = ds ut for small deflections, the chord and arc length are similar, i.e. ds dx, giving: M dθ = dx The total change in rotation between A and is thus: A dθ = A M dx 8

9 The term M is the curvature and the diagram of this term as it changes along a beam is the curvature diagram (or more simply the M diagram). Thus we have: M dθa = θ θa = A dx This is interpreted as: M Change in slope = Area of diagram A [ ] A This is Mohr s First Theorem (Mohr I): The change in slope over any length of a member subjected to bending is equal to the area of the curvature diagram over that length. Usually the beam is prismatic and so E and I do not change over the length A, whereas the bending moment M will change. Thus: [ Change in slope] 1 θ A = A A = M dx [ Area of M diagram] A 9

10 Example 1 For the cantilever beam shown, we can find the rotation at easily: Thus, from Mohr I, we have: M Change in slope = Area of diagram A 1 PL θ θa = L [ ] A Since the rotation at A is zero (it is a fixed support), i.e. θ A = 0, we have: θ = PL 10

11 .3 Mohr s Second Theorem (Mohr II) Development From the main diagram, we can see that: d = x dθ ut, as we know from previous, M dθ = dx Thus: M d = x dx And so for the portion A, we have: A M d = x dx A M A = dx x A = First moment of M diagram about This is easily interpreted as: 11

12 Area of Distance from to centroid Vertical M M Intercept = diagram of diagram A A A This is Mohr s Second Theorem (Mohr II): For an originally straight beam, subject to bending moment, the vertical intercept between one terminal and the tangent to the curve of another terminal is the first moment of the curvature diagram about the terminal where the intercept is measured. There are two crucial things to note from this definition: Vertical intercept is not deflection; look again at the fundamental diagram it is the distance from the deformed position of the beam to the tangent of the deformed shape of the beam at another location. That is: δ The moment of the curvature diagram must be taken about the point where the vertical intercept is required. That is: A A 1

13 Example For the cantilever beam, we can find the defection at since the produced tangent at A is horizontal, i.e. θ A = 0. Thus it can be used to measure deflections from: Thus, from Mohr II, we have: 1 PL L A = L 3 And so the deflection at is: 3 PL δ = 3 13

14 .4 Sign Convention The sign convention for application of Mohr s Theorems is unfortunately not easily remembered. It is usually easier to note the sense of displacements instead. However, the sign convention is as follows. Mohr s First Theorem If the net area of the MD is positive (mostly sagging), the change in rotation between two points is measured anti-clockwise from the tangent of the first point. Conversely, if the net MD area is negative (mostly hogging), the change in rotation is measured clockwise from the tangent to the first point. Sketch these: 14

15 Mohr s Second Theorem If the net moment of area of the MD is positive (mostly sagging), the deflected position of the member lies above the produced tangent. Conversely, if the net moment of area of the MD area is negative (mostly hogging), the deflected position of the member lies below the produced tangent. Again, sketch this: 15

16 3. Application to Determinate Structures 3.1 asic Examples Example 3 For the following beam, find δ, δ C, θ and θ C given the section dimensions shown and E =10 kn/mm. To be done in class. 16

17 Example 4 For the following simply-supported beam, we can find the rotation at A using Mohr s Second Theorem. The deflected shape diagram is used to identify relationships between vertical intercepts and rotations: The key to the solution here is that we can calculate diagram we can see that we can use the formula S A using Mohr II but from the = Rθ for small angles: A = L θ A Therefore once we know A using Mohr II, we can find θ = L. A A To calculate diagrams: A using Mohr II we need the bending moment and curvature 17

18 Thus, from Mohr II, we have: 1 PL L A = L 4 3 PL = 16 ut, A = L θ A and so we have: A θ A = L PL = 16 18

19 3. Finding Deflections General Procedure To find the deflection at any location x from a support use the following relationships between rotations and vertical intercepts: Thus we: 1. Find the rotation at the support using Mohr II as before;. For the location x, and from the diagram we have: δ = x θ x x 19

20 Maximum Deflection To find the maximum deflection we first need to find the location at which this occurs. We know from beam theory that: δ = dθ dx Hence, from basic calculus, the maximum deflection occurs at a rotation, θ = 0 : To find where the rotation is zero: 1. Calculate a rotation at some point, say support A, using Mohr II say;. Using Mohr I, determine at what distance from the point of known rotation (A) the change in rotation (Mohr I), dθ Ax equals the known rotation ( θ A ). 3. This is the point of maximum deflection since: θ dθ = θ θ = 0 A Ax A A 0

21 Example 5 For the following beam of constant : (a) Determineθ A, θ and δ C ; (b) What is the maximum deflection and where is it located? Give your answers in terms of. The first step is to determine the MD and draw the deflected shape diagram with rotations and tangents indicated: 1

22 Rotations at A and To calculate the rotations, we need to calculate the vertical intercepts and use the fact that the intercept is length times rotation. Thus, for the rotation at : A = M M = M = 8M 8M A = ut, we also know that = 6θ. Hence: A 8M 6θ = 4M M θ = = Similarly for the rotation at A: A = 4 4 M + 4+ M = M = 10M 10M A = ut, we also know that = 6θ and so: A A

23 10M 6θ A = 5M M θ = = 1.67 A 3 Deflection at C To find the deflection at C, we use the vertical intercept and θ : C From the figure, we see: δ = 4θ C C And so from the MD and rotation at : 1 4 δ = ( M ) 4 M C 3 M δ =.665 C 3

24 Maximum Deflection The first step in finding the maximum deflection is to locate it. We know tow things: 1. Maximum deflection occurs where there is zero rotation;. Maximum deflection is always close to the centre of the span. ased on these facts, we work with Mohr I to find the point of zero rotation, which will be located between and C, as follows: Change in rotation = θ 0 = θ ut since we know that the change in rotation is also the area of the M diagram we need to find the point x where the area of the M diagram is equal to θ : Thus: x 1 = M x 4 x θ = M 8 ( θ 0) M ut we know that θ = 1.33, hence: 4

25 M x 1.33 = M 8 x = x = 3.65 m from or.735 m from A So we can see that the maximum deflection is 65 mm shifted from the centre of the beam towards the load. Once we know where the maximum deflection is, we can calculate is based on the following diagram: Thus: max δ = xθ max x x x δ = x max ( 1.33M ) M 8 3 = M δ ( ) M =.89 And since M = 53.4 knm δ =., max 5

26 3.3 Problems 1. For the beam of Example 3, using only Mohr s First Theorem, show that the rotation at support is equal in magnitude but not direction to that at A.. For the following beam, of dimensions b = 150 mm and d = 5 mm and 4 E =10 kn/mm, show that = 7 10 rads and δ = 9.36 mm. θ 3. For a cantilever A of length L and stiffness, subjected to a UDL, show that: θ 3 4 wl wl = ; δ = For a simply-supported beam A with a point load at mid span (C), show that: δ = C 3 PL For a simply-supported beam A of length L and stiffness, subjected to a UDL, show that: wl ; wl ; wl 4 θ = A 4 θ = 4 δ = C 384 6

27 6. For the following beam, determine the deflections at A, E and the maximum overall deflection in the span. Take = 40 MNm Ans mm,.67 mm, 8.00 mm 7

28 4. Application to Indeterminate Structures 4.1 asis of Approach Using the principle of superposition we will separate indeterminate structures into a primary and reactant structures. For these structures we will calculate the deflections at a point for which the deflection is known in the original structure. We will then use compatibility of displacement to equate the two calculated deflections to the known deflection in the original structure. Doing so will yield the value of the redundant reaction chosen for the reactant structure. Once this is known all other load effects (bending, shear, deflections, rotations) can be calculated. See the notes on the asis for the Analysis of Indeterminate Structures for more on this approach. 8

29 4. Example 6: Propped Cantilever For the following prismatic beam, find the maximum deflection in span A and the deflection at C in terms of. Find the reaction at Since this is an indeterminate structure, we first need to solve for one of the unknown reactions. Choosing V as our redundant reaction, using the principle of superposition, we can split the structure up as shown: Final = Primary + Reactant In which R is the value of the chosen redundant. 9

30 In the final structure (a) we know that the deflection at, δ, must be zero as it is a roller support. So from the MD that results from the superposition of structures (b) and (c) we can calculate δ in terms of R and solve since δ = 0. We have from Mohr II: 1 1 A = R = R = ( R) ( b) ( c) ut since θ A = 0, δ = A = 0 and so we have: = 0 A 1 ( R) = R = 000 R = kn 30

31 The positive sign for R means that the direction we originally assumed for it (upwards) was correct. At this point the final MD can be drawn but since its shape would be more complex we continue to operate using the structure (b) and (c) MDs. Draw the Final MD 31

32 Find the location of the maximum deflection This is the next step in determining the maximum deflection in span A. Using the knowledge that the tangent at A is horizontal, i.e. θ A = 0, we look for the distance x from A that satisfies: dθ Ax = θa θx = 0 y inspection on the deflected shape, it is apparent that the maximum deflection occurs to the right of the point load. Hence we have the following: So using Mohr I we calculate the change in rotation by finding the area of the curvature diagram between A and x. The diagram is split for ease: 3

33 The Area 1 is trivial: A1 = = For Area, we need the height first which is: h = 4 x 4R x 4 = 4 = E I And so the area itself is: A = x x For Area 3 the height is: And so the area is: h3 = x x = 33

34 1 15 A = x x eing careful of the signs for the curvatures, the total area is: dθ = A + A + A Ax = 00 + x 15 x + x = x + 15x Setting this equal to zero to find the location of the maximum deflection, we have: 15 x 8 x + = 15x 00 0 x + = Thus, x =.1 m. x = 5.89 m or x =.1 m. Since we are dealing with the portion A, Find the maximum deflection Since the tangent at both A and x are horizontal, i.e. θ A = 0 and θ x = 0, the deflection is given by: δ = max xa Using Mohr II and Areas 1, and 3 as previous, we have: 34

35 Area 1 Ax = = Area h Ax 4.1 4R = = = = Area 3 h 3 Ax =.1 = = = Thus: = δ = x max δ max = The negative sign indicates that the negative bending moment diagram dominates, i.e. the hogging of the cantilever is pushing the deflection downwards. 35

36 Find the deflection at C For the deflection at C we again use the fact that θ A = 0 with Mohr II to give: δ = C CA From the diagram we have: CA = δc = The positive sign indicates that the positive bending moment region dominates and so the deflection is upwards. 36

37 4.3 Example 7: -Span eam For the following beam of constant, using Mohr s theorems: (a) Draw the bending moment diagram; (b) Determine, δ D and δ E ; Give your answers in terms of. In the last example we knew the rotation at A and this made finding the deflection at the redundant support relatively easy. Once again we will choose a redundant support, in this case the support at. In the present example, we do not know the rotation at A it must be calculated and so finding the deflection at is more involved. We can certainly use compatibility of displacement at, but in doing so we will have to calculate the vertical intercept from to A,, twice. Therefore, to save effort, we use A we apply compatibility of displacement to. We will calculate as the measure which A through calculation A of θ (and using the small angle approximation) and through direct calculation from A the bending moment diagram. We will then have an equation in R which can be solved. 37

38 Rotation at A reaking the structure up into primary and redundant structures: So we can see that the final rotation at A is: θ = θ + θ P R A A A To find the rotation at A in the primary structure, consider the following: y Mohr II we have: 38

39 ( )( ) = = 1960 CA ut we know, from the small angle approximation, = 1θ, hence: CA A P 1960 CA θ = = = A P 1080 θ = A To find the rotation at A for the reactant structure, we have: 1 = 1 3 R ( 6 ) 108 CA = R = 1θ CA R 108R CA θ = = = 9R A 1 1 R 9R θ = A A 39

40 Notice that we assign a negative sign to the reactant rotation at A since it is in the opposite sense to the primary rotation (which we expect to dominate). Thus, we have: θ = θ + θ P R A A A R = Vertical Intercept from to A The second part of the calculation is to find curvature diagram: A directly from calculation of the Thus we have: ( 40 3) = R A

41 = 18R A 50 18R = A Solution for R Now we recognize that = 6θ by compatibility of displacement, and so: A A 50 18R R = R = ( R) 36R = 3960 R = 110 kn Solution to Part (a) With this we can immediately solve for the final bending moment diagram by superposition of the primary and reactant MDs: 41

42 Solution to Part (b) We are asked to calculate the deflection at D and E. However, since the beam is symmetrical δ D = δ and so we need only calculate one of them say E D (now standard) diagram for the calculation of deflection: δ. Using the ( ) θ = = A E I 1 3 = DA = 3 3 ut δ = 3θ, thus: D A DA δ δ D D ( ) = = = δ = E 4

43 4.4 Example 8: Simple Frame For the following frame of constant = 40 MNm, using Mohr s theorems: (a) Draw the bending moment and shear force diagram; (b) Determine the horizontal deflection at E. Part (a) Solve for a Redundant As with the beams, we split the structure into primary and reactant structures: 43

44 We also need to draw the deflected shape diagram of the original structure to identify displacements that we can use: To solve for R we could use any known displacement. In this case we will use the vertical intercept D as shown, because: We can determine Second Theorem; D for the original structure in terms of R using Mohr s We see that = 6θ and so using Mohr s First Theorem for the original D structure we will find θ, again in terms of R; We equate the two methods of calculating solve for R. D (both are in terms of R) and 44

45 Find D by Mohr II Looking at the combined bending moment diagram, we have: 1 1 D = 6 6R = 7R 900 Find θ by Mohr I Since the tangent at A is vertical, the rotation at will be the change in rotation from A to : dθ = θ θ A A = θ 0 = θ M = Area of to A Therefore, by Mohr I: θ M = Area of = 6 6R 10 6 = 36R 70 to A 45

46 Equate and Solve for R As identified previously: = 6θ D [ R ] 7R 900 = R = kn Diagrams Knowing R we can then solve for the reactions, bending moment and shear force diagrams. The results are: 46

47 Part (b) The movement at E is comprised of δ Dx and 6θ D as shown in the deflection diagram. These are found as: Since the length of member D doesn t change, δ Dx δ = ; x A = δ. Further, by Mohr II, x y Mohr I, θ D = θ dθ D, that is, the rotation at D is the rotation at minus the change in rotation from to D: So we have: A [ 6R 6][ 3] [ 10 6][ 3] = = 0.5 dθ D 1 1 = 6R = Notice that we still use the primary and reactant diagrams even though we know R. We do this because the shapes and distances are simpler to deal with. From before we know: 47

48 θ = 36R 70 = 67.5 Thus, we have: θ = θ dθ D D = = The minus indicates that it is a rotation in opposite direction to that of θ which is clear from the previous diagram. Since we have taken account of the sense of the rotation, we are only interested in its absolute value. A similar argument applies to the minus sign for the deflection at. Therefore: δ = δ + 6θ Ex x D = = Using = 40 MNm gives δ = 16.9 mm. Ex 48

49 4.5 Example 9: Complex Frame For the following frame of constant = 40 MNm, using Mohr s theorems: (a) Determine the reactions and draw the bending moment diagram; (b) Determine the horizontal deflection at D. In this frame we have the following added complexities: There is a UDL and a point load which leads to a mix of parabolic, triangular and rectangular MDs; There is a different value for different parts of the frame we must take this into account when performing calculations and not just consider the M diagram but the M diagram as per Mohr s Theorems. 49

50 Solve for a Redundant As is usual, we split the frame up: Next we draw the deflected shape diagram of the original structure to identify displacements that we can use: 50

51 To solve for R we will use the vertical intercept We can determine DC DC as shown, because: for the original structure in terms of R using Mohr II; We see that = 6θ and so using Mohr I for the original structure we will DC find θ, again in terms of R; C As usual, we equate the two methods of calculating R) and solve for R. DC (both are in terms of 51

52 The Rotation at C To find the rotation at C, we must base our thoughts on the fact that we are only able to calculate the change in rotation from one point to another using Mohr I. Thus we identify that we know the rotation at A is zero since it is a fixed support and we can find the change in rotation from A to C, using Mohr I. Therefore: dθ = θ θ A to C C A = θ 0 C = θ C At this point we must recognize that since the frame is swaying to the right, the bending moment on the outside dominates (as we saw for the maximum deflection calculation in Example 6). The change in rotation is the difference of the absolute values of the two diagrams, hence we have, from the figure, and from Mohr I: 1 dθ = + A to C θ = R C ( 360 8) 40 4 ( 6R 8) R θ = C 5

53 The Vertical Intercept DC Using Mohr II and from the figure we have: = 6 6R DC = 7R 340 DC 48R 160 = DC Note that to have neglected the different value for member CD would change the result significantly. Solve for R y compatibility of displacement we have = 6θ and so: DC C ( R) 48R 160 = R = 30 R = kn With R now known we can calculate the horizontal deflection at D. 53

54 Part (b) - Horizontal Deflection at D From the deflected shape diagram of the final frame and by neglecting axial deformation of member CD, we see that the horizontal displacement at D must be the same as that at C. Note that it is easier at this stage to work with the simpler shape of the separate primary and reactant MDs. Using Mohr II we can find δ as shown: Cx 1 = ( 6R 8)( 4) ( 360 8)( 4) CA = 19R 1470 Now substituting R = 66.4 kn and δ = δ = : Dx Cx A δ Dx = = 49.3 mm Note that the negative sign indicates that the bending on the outside of the frame dominates, pushing the frame to the right as we expected. 54

55 Part (a) Reactions and ending Moment Diagram Reactions Taking the whole frame, and showing the calculated value for R, we have: ( ) F = V = 0 V = 53.6 kn y A A F = 0 H 60= 0 H = 60 k N x A A 6 M about A= 0 M A = 0 M A = knm Note that it is easier to use the superposition of the primary and reactant MDs to find the moment at A: ( ) M = = 01.6 knm A The negative sign indicate the moment on the outside of the frame dominates and so tension is on the left. 55

56 ending Moment Diagram We find the moments at salient points: M about C = 0 6 M C = 0 M = knm C And so tension is on the bottom at C. The moment at is most easily found from superposition of the MDs as before: ( ) M = = 38.4 knm And so tension is on the inside of the frame at. Lastly we must find the value of maximum moment in span CD. The position of zero shear is found as: 53.6 x = =.68 m 0 And so the distance from D is: 6.68= 3.3 m The maximum moment is thus found from a free body diagram as follows: 56

57 M about X = M max = 0 M = knm C And so tension is on the bottom as expected. Summary of Solution In summary the final solution for this frame is: 57

60 5. Further Developments 5.1 Theorem of Three Moments Introduction Continuous beams feature in many structures, and as such the ability to analyse them is crucial to efficient design. Clapeyron derived the Three Moment Theorem in about 1857 for this purpose, thereby enabling the design of the previously undesignable. He derived them using Mohr s Theorems. They were initially derived for the very general case of spans with different flexural rigidities, span lengths and support levels. We will only consider the case of different span lengths to keep the problem simple. Even so, the solution procedure is exactly the same and the result is widely applicable. 60

61 Development We consider the following two internal spans of an arbitrary continuous beam: 61

62 To solve the problem we will identify two relationships and join them to form an equation that enables us to solve continuous beams. First, we calculate the two vertical intercepts, and : A C Ax 1 1 = = θ L (1) A 1 Ax = = θ L () C Note that θ : C is negative since it is upwards. We can solve these two equations for Ax 1 1 L Ax L 1 = θ = θ And then add them to get: Ax L Ax + = 0 L And since is common we have our first relationship: Ax L Ax + = 0 (3) L

63 The next step involves determining the first moment of area of the two final bending moment diagrams in terms of the free and reactant bending moment diagrams. In words, the first moment of the final MD about A is equal to the sum of the first moments of the free MD and reactant MDs about A. Mathematically, from the figure, we thus have: L1 1 A x = S x ( M L A 1) + ( M M A) L L (4) In which the reactant MD has been broken into a rectangular and triangular parts (dotted in the figure). Similarly, we have: L 1 A x = S x + ( M L C ) + ( M M C) L L 3 (5) Introducing equations (4) and (5) into equation (3) gives: ( ) ( ) Sx M L M M L A 1 Sx M L M M L A C C = 0 L 3 L 3 1 Carrying out the algebra: M L M L M L M L M L M L S x S x = + A 1 1 A 1 C C L L 1 M L M L M L M L S x S x = + A 1 1 C L L 1 63

64 And finally we arrive at the Three Moment Equation: Sx Sx M L + M L + L + M L = 6 + ( ) 1 1 A 1 1 C L L 1 (6) This equation relates the unknown reactant moments to the free bending moment diagram for each two spans of a continuous beam. y writing this equation for each adjacent pair of spans, a sufficient number of equations to solve for the unknown reactant moments result. The term in brackets on the right of the equation represents the total angular discontinuity ( ( θ θ ) A + ) at if A, and C were pinned supports. C As a further development, we can use equations (1) and () with Mohr s First Theorem to find: 1 x L 1 1 θ = S 1 A 1 + A L x L θ = + + L 6 1 ( M M ) ( ) 1 1 S M M 1 A 1 x L = + + L 6 ( ) S M M C 1 x L θ = S 1 C + C L 6 ( M M ) (7) With this information, all deflections along the beam can be found using the numerical procedure to be explained later. 64

65 Example 10 To illustrate the application of the Three Moment Theorem, and also to derive a useful result, we will consider the general case of a four-span beam with equal spans, L, subject to a UDL, w: In the figure, the areas of the free MDs are all: S 1,,3,4 wl wl = L 3 = And the distances to the centroids are all L. Thus we can write: 65

66 Sx 1 wl L wl = L L 1 = Next, we apply the Three Moment Equation to each pair of spans: AC: ( ) CD: ( ) 3 3 wl wl M L+ L + M L= 6 C wl wl M L+ M L+ L + M L= 6 C D CDE: M L M ( L L) C 3 3 wl wl + + = 6 D Simplifying: wl 4M + M = C wl M + 4M + M = C D wl M + 4M = C D This is three equations with three unknowns and is thus readily solvable. An algebraic approach is perfectly reasonable, but we can make better use fo the tools at our disposal if we rewrite this in matrix form: 66

67 4 1 0 M wl M = 1 C M 1 D Now we can write can solve for the moment vector suing matrix inversion: 1 M wl M C = M D To obtain the inverse of the 3 3 matrix we could resort to algebra, but a better idea is to use Excel or Matlab. Using Matlab: We can see that the decimal results of the matrix inverse are really just multiples of 1/56 (the matrix determinant). In Excel we can find the matrix inverse (using MINVERSE), but cannot find the determinant directly, so we use the Matlab result: 67

68 Thus our solution becomes: M wl 1 wl M C = = M D It is quite useful to know the denominators for easier comparisons, thus: [ M M M ] C D wl wl wl =

69 5. Numerical Calculation of Deformation Introduction One of the main applications of the Moment-Area method in the modern structural analysis environment, where use of computers is prevalent, is in the calculation of displacements. Most structural analysis software is based on the matrix stiffness (or finite element) method. This analysis procedure returns the displacements and rotations at node points only. The problem then remains to determine the displacements along members, in between the nodes. This is where the moment-area method is applied in typical analysis software programs. We will demonstrate a simple procedure to find the deflections and rotations along a member once the bending moments are known at discrete points along the member. In addition, we will consider the member prismatic: will be taken as constant, though this not need be so in general. You can download all the files and scripts from the course website. 69

70 Development Consider a portion of a deformed member with bending moments known: Our aim is to determine the rotation and deflection at each station (1,, ) given the values of bending moment M, M, K and the starting rotation and deflection, θ, δ We base our development on the fundamental Euler-ernoulli relationships upon which Mohr s Theorems were developed: 70

71 i = M dx (8) θ θ i i 1 i 1 i i 1 i δ δ = θdx (9) i 1 From these equations, and from the diagram, we can see that: 1 θ = Mdx δ = θdx Thus we have: 1 θ = θ + θ = θ + Mdx i i 1 i 1 (10) δ = δ + δ = δ + θ (11) dx i i 1 i 1 In this way once θ 0, δ are known, we can proceed along the member establishing 0 rotations and deflections at each point. 71

72 Implementation To implement this method, it just remains to carry out the integrations. To keep things simple, we will use the Trapezoidal Rule. More accurate methods are possible, such as Simpson s Rule, but since we can usually choose the number of stations to be large, little error will result. Thus equations (10) and (11) become: 1 h θ = θ i i + 1 ( M M i + 1 i) (1) 1 δ = δ + i i 1 ( θ + θ h i 1 i) (13) To proceed we will consider the following example, for which we know the result: Simply-support beam; L = 6 m ; 3 = knm ; Loading: UDL of 0 kn/m. Our main theoretical result is: 4 ( ) 5 ( ) 4 5wL δ = = = 1.885mm

73 MS Excel We can implement the formulas as follows: And drag down these formulas for 100 points to get the following spreadsheet: The deflection with 100 points along the beam is mm a very slight difference to the theoretical result. 73

74 Matlab Matlab has a very useful function for our purposes here: cumtrapz. This function returns the cumulative results of trapezoidal integration along a function. Thus our script becomes: % Using Moment-Area to find deformations along members L = 6; = 1.8e5; w = 0; h = 0.05; x = 0:h:L; Va = w*l/; M = Va.*x-w*x.^./; Ro = -w*(l)^3/(4*); Ri = cumtrapz(m)*h/ + Ro; d = cumtrapz(ri)*h; subplot(3,1,1); plot(x,m); ylabel('ending Moment (knm)'); subplot(3,1,); plot(x,1e3*ri); ylabel('rotation (mrads)'); subplot(3,1,3); plot(x,d*1e3); xlabel ('Distance Along Member (m)'); ylabel('deflection (mm)'); As may be seen, most of this script is to generate the plots. The cumtrapz function takes the hard work out of this approach. The central deflection result is mm again. The output is in this screenshot: 74

75 For maximum flexibility, it is better to write a generic function to perform these tasks: function [R d] = MomentArea(M,, h, Ro, do) % This function calculates the rotations and deflections along a flexural % member given the bending moment vector, M, a distance step, h, initial % deflection and rotation at node 0, do, Ro, and the flexural rigidity,. n = length(m); R = zeros(n,1); d = zeros(n,1); R(1) = Ro; deflection d(1) = do; R = cumtrapz(m)*h/ + Ro; d = cumtrapz(r)*h; % number of stations % vector of rotations % vector of deflections % assign starting rotation and % Do moment area calcs To use this function for our example we make the following calls: 75

76 L = 6; = 1.8e5; w = 0; h = 0.05; x = 0:h:L; Va = w*l/; M = Va.*x-w*x.^./; Ro = -w*(l)^3/(4*); [R d] = MomentArea(M,, h, Ro, 0); And once again, of course, our result is mm. As one final example, we calculate deflections for the beam of Example 7. To do this we make use of the calculated value for θ = 90 and use the following script: A % Ex. 7: -span beam - calculate deformed shape = 1e6; h = 0.1; x = 0:h:1; Mfree = 80*x - 80*max(x-3,0) - 80*max(x-9,0); Mreactant = 55*x-110*max(x-6,0); M = Mfree - Mreactant; Ro = -90/; [R d] = MomentArea(M,, h, Ro, 0); subplot(3,1,1); plot(x,m); grid on; ylabel('ending Moment (knm)'); subplot(3,1,); plot(x,1e3*r); grid on; ylabel('rotation (mrads)'); subplot(3,1,3); plot(x,d*1e3); grid on; xlabel ('Distance Along Member (m)'); ylabel('deflection (mm)'); Note that we have used a value of that makes it easy to interpret the results in terms of. 76

77 As can be seen, the complete deflected profile is now available to us. Further, the deflection at D is found to be 157.4, which compares well to the theoretical value of 157.5, found in Example 7. ending Moment (knm) Rotation (mrads) Deflection (mm) X: 3 0 Y: Distance Along Member (m) 77

78 5.3 Non-Prismatic Members Introduction In all examples so far we have only considered members whose properties do not change along their length. This is clearly quite a simplification since it is necessary for maximum structural efficiency that structures change shape to deal with increasing or reducing bending moments etc. The Moment-Area Method is ideally suited to such analyses. We will consider one simple example, and one slightly more complex and general. 78

79 Example 11 We consider the following cantilever and determine the deflections at and C: The MD and curvature diagrams thus become: To calculate the deflections, consider the deflected shape diagram: From Mohr s First Theorem: 79

80 δ 5 = = A 1 [] Thus: δ = 50 Similarly, though with more terms for the deflection at C we have: δ C 5 50 = = 3 1 CA + [ ] [] δ = C 50 80

81 Example 1 We determine here an expression for the deflection at the end of a cantilever subject to a point load at its tip which has linearly varying flexural rigidity: We must derive expression for both the moment and the flexural rigidity. Considering the coordinate x, increasing from zero at to L at A: M ( x) = Px ( ) = + ( ) x A x L If we introduce the following measure of the increase in : k = A We can write: 81

82 = + ( ) 1 x x k L Now we can write the equation for curvature: M ( x) Px = x 1 k + L PL x = L+ kx To find the tip deflection we write: L δ = A = 0 M ( ) x xdx And solving this (using symbolic computation!) gives: δ ( k) PL k + log 1+ +k k 3 = 3 To retrieve our more familiar result for a prismatic member, we must use L Hopital s Rule to find the limit as k 0. As may be verified by symbolic computation: δ ( ) PL k + log 1+ k + k PL k 3 3 Prismatic = lim k 0 = 3 3 8

83 As a sample application, let s take the following parameters: P =10 kn ; L = 4 m ; = 10 MNm. We will investigate the change in deflection with the increase in at A. Firstly, we find our prismatic result: 3 10( 4 ) 3 ( ) 3 PL δ Prismatic = = = 1.33 mm And then we plot the deflection for a range of k values: 5 X: 0.01 Y: 1.17 Deflection (mm) X: Y: Stiffness Increase at A (k) As can be seen, when k =, in other words when = 3, our deflection is 8.79 mm a reduction to 41% of the prismatic deflection. A 83

84 Matlab Scripts The Matlab scripts to calculate the previous results are: % Use Symbolic Toolbox to perform integration syms P L x k positive; M = sym('p*x'); = sym('*(1+k*x/l)'); Mohr = M/*x; def = int(mohr,x,0,l); pretty(def); limit(def,k,0); result % M equation % equation % 1st moment of M/ diagram % definite integral % display result % Prove limit as k->0 is prismatic % Plot change in deflection by varying k clear all; P = 10; L = 4; = 10e3; k = 0.01:0.01:; d = 1/*P*L^3*(-.*k+*log(1+k)+k.^)/./k.^3; plot(k,d*1e3); xlabel('stiffness Increase at A (k)'); ylabel('deflection (mm)') d1 = P*L^3/(3*); % prismatic result 84
