Deflection (part I)

When load is applied in the beams/frames then due to bending of individuals members deflection and rotation takes place.

Methods of Calculate Deflection and Rotation

  1. Double Integration Method
  2. Method of Superposition
  3. Macaulay’s Method
  4. Moment area Method
  5. Conjugate beam Method
  6. Strain Energy Method
  7. Unit Load Method

Difference between Rotation and Slope

Rotation : Always measured from initial to final clockwise is considered as positive.

Slope: Tangent of angle measured from positive x-axis towards +ve y-axis.
