(3)Deformation of a Beam Under Transverse Loading
• Relationship between bending moment and curvature for pure bending remains valid for general transverse loadings
EI x M( ) =

• Cantilever beam subjected to concentrated load at the free end,

• Curvature varies linearly with x • At the free end A, = A = ∞

(4)Deformation of a Beam Under Transverse Loading • Overhanging beam
• Reactions at A and C
• Bending moment diagram
• Curvature is zero at points where the bending moment is zero, i.e., at each end and at E
EI x M( ) =
ρ
• Beam is concave upwards where the bending moment is positive and concave downwards where it is negative
• Maximum curvature occurs where the moment magnitude is a maximum
