What is the Double Integration Method?

The Double Integration Method is an analytical procedure for solving beam deflections. This method aims to find an expression for the structure's deflected shape through a function.

What is the Area Moment Method?

The Area Moment Method is an analytical and geometric procedure used to find the deflection of plane beams and frames. It revolves around two concepts that we'll explore in this post.

3

What is the Conjugate Beam Method?

The conjugate beam method is an analytical procedure in which solving deflections is similar to finding a structure's shear and moment. It is an expansion of the area moment method.

Introduction to Work Methods

One of the most powerful methods in solving for the deflection of structures are the work methods which consists of virtual and real work. As preparation, we'll review several concepts.
