Simple support load

A uniform, rectangular-section beam of fixed width w, unspecified depth d, and fixed length L rests horizontally on two simple supports at either end of the beam. A concentrated force E acts vertically downwards through the centre of the beam. The deflection, 8, of the loaded point is...

Plastic composite mechanics in conjunction with structural mechanics can be used to derive explicit equations for the structmal response of simple structural elements. These explicit expressions can then be used to perform parametric studies (sensitivity analyses) to assess the influence of the hybridization ratio on structural response. For example the structural response (behavior variables) equations for maximum deflection, buckling load and frequency of a simply supported beam made from intraply hybrids are summarized in Figure 6.7 Flexural modulus is used to determine the maximum deflection, buckling load, and frequency of a simple supported beam made from intraply hybrids. 

Let us continue this discussion using the simple example introduced at the beginning of Section 5.6. The ultimate load of a beam in a steel framed building was calculated using simple plastic theory, and assuming simple supports, so that...

The compressive strength is defined by the elastic instability of the thin cell wall membranes. The closed-cell foam is presumed to have a cell geometry represented by a pentagonal dodecahedron. Based on the buckling load for a simple supported thin circular plate which has the same area as the pentagonal faces, the final result for the beginning of the collapse plateau is ... 

The use of structural and loading symmetry to show that a beam with one clamped support is equivalent to another beam with only simple supports (a) a tip loaded cantilever beam is equivalent to a simply supported beam (b) a propped cantilever beam Is equivalent to a two-span simply supported beam (c) load versus support rotation response of a two-span, simply supported continuous 102 x 102 x 6.4 mm pultruded GFRP WF beam (reproduced with permission of Net Composites Ltd (Turvey, 2011)). 

Structural response (behavior variables) equations for maximum deflection, buckling load and frequency of a simply supported beam made from intraply hybrids are summarized in Fig. 4.39 Flexural modulus is used to determine the maximum deflection, buckling load, and frequency of a simple supported beam made from intraply hybrids. 

There are four commonly occurring states of stress, shown in Fig. 3.2. The simplest is that of simple tension or compression (as in a tension member loaded by pin joints at its ends or in a pillar supporting a structure in compression). The stress is, of course, the force divided by the section area of the member or pillar. The second common state of stress is that of biaxial tension. If a spherical shell (like a balloon) contains an internal pressure, then the skin of the shell is loaded in two directions, not one, as shown in Fig. 3.2. This state of stress is called biaxial tension (unequal biaxial tension is obviously the state in which the two tensile stresses are unequal). The third common state of stress is that of hydrostatic pressure. This occurs deep in the earth s crust, or deep in the ocean, when a solid is subjected to equal compression on all sides. There is a convention that stresses are positive when they pull, as we have drawn them in earlier figures. Pressure,... 

Molybdenum/zeolite catalysts prepared by impregnating zeolites with ammonium hepiamolybdate solution generally give rise to poor dispersion of molybdenum [2]. In contrast, ion exchange would be an ideal method for loading active metal species onto supports. Few cationic forms are available as simple salts of molybdenum of high oxidation...
