A simple example on Maxwell’s reciprocal theorem

By admin December 9, 2023

A 800 mm long cantilever with a prop at 500 mm from the fixed end deflects in accordance with the following observations when a point load of 40 kN is applied at its free end.(fig 1)

Distance from fixed end(mm)	0	100	200	300	400	500	600	700	800
Deflection(mm)	0	0.3	1.4	2.5	1.9	0	-2.3	-4.8	-10.6

Determine the deflection of the free end due to a 30 kN at 200 mm from the fixed end together with a 10 kN load at 300 mm from the fixed end.(fig 2). Find also the angular rotation of the member at the prop?

Watch the video for detailed explanation for the above problem.
