Determination of Elastic Line Model MT 034

Beams are key structural elements in mechanical engineering and in construction which are subject to deformation under load. In the case of a simple beam this deformation can be predicted by various methods, such as the principle of virtual work.
The beam under investigation in Sci-tech Determination of Elastic Line Model MT 034 can be supported by different bearing methods.

Item Description

* Comparison of different methods to determine the elastic line: Virtual work, Mohr’s Analogy1
