Problem description:
Console bar is loaded by bending moment Му at point B. Determine vertical displacement value w and horizontal displacement value u at point B. Find also horizontal displacement value u at the centre of bar span.
Problem sketch:
Type of created problem:
Spatial structure (X, Y, Z, UX, UY, UZ).
Geometric characteristics:
L = 10 m; b = 1 m; h = 0.01 mm.
Material properties:
Elastic modulus: E = 1.2·108 tf/m2.
Boundary conditions:
Point А: X = Y = Z = UX = UY = UZ = 0.
