Lecture # 27 Macaulay Functions. Deflection of Beams and Shafts Discontinuity Functions.
w a b c w w a + b x M(x) Remember that the distributed loads can start anywhere but Should continue to the end of the beam; otherwise It should be forced to go to the end.
Example: Find the slope of the beam at support A. 3N/m 100N 2N/m 10N-m 60.2=R1 R2=52.3N 4m 2m 2m 2m 3m x M(x)

w A B L Using Singularity Functions to Determine Reactions of Statistically Indeterminate Problems: Example 1: Find reaction at support A.
Unknowns: { C1, C2, Ay } Boundary Conditions Solving:
P A B MA MB b a L RB RA Example 2: Find reactions at support A & B.
Unknowns: { C1, C2, RA, MA } Boundary Conditions One can use equilibrium equations to find the remaining unknowns (RB & MB).
