Question 1.
What is a bending moment?
Show hintHide hint
Think about how forces affect a beam.
Question 2.
Identify the boundary condition at a clamped end of a beam.
Show hintHide hint
Recall the terms from our lectures.
3Question 3.
What is the main assumption of the Euler-Bernoulli Beam Theory?
- Beam cross-section is always cylindrical
- Cross-sections remain planar and normal after deformation
- Axial displacement is significant
Show hintHide hint
Remember how we discussed assumptions in the context of EBT.
4Question 4.
A simply supported beam has a zero reactive moment. True or False?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Consider what types of supports create moments.
Question 5.
A beam 10m long is clamped at one end and has a point load of 250N at the free end. Calculate the deflection of the beam using EBT.
Show hintHide hint
Recall the process to use EBT formulas effectively.
Question 6.
Analyze a beam of length L subjected to a varying distributed load from 0 to P. Describe how the bending moment would change along the beam.
Show hintHide hint
Recall how distributed forces translate into bending moments.
