A construction worker is goofing around on site and is standing on a wood beam at its center. The worker is shaking up and down as he does his job but eventually the beam fails. The site engineer is called over to analyze the dynamic system to determine why the wood beam has failed. As part of her analysis, she first decides to determine the stiffness of the beam. Determine the equivalent stiffness, k, for the massless beam system shown below (the beam is indeterminate so use compatibility and linearity of the system to solve). Leave your answer in terms of E, I and L. Your degree of freedom is the displacement of the beam in the down direction at the point indicated: -1/2- -1/2- Actual Wood Beam Setup (Worker represents F) El F Equivalent Spring

a) Let R represent the reaction force at Support B. By releasing the beam at Support B and imposing a force R at Point B, the deflection of the beam consists of two parts,i.e. Part I- the deflection caused by MB ; Part II- the deflection caused by R Please treat R, w, h , L , E as variables in this step , the mathematical equation for the deflection at Point B caused by R ( Part II) can be written as (Hint : to input equation R2LQ2wh , you can type (R^2*L)/(Q^2*w*h) ) b) Using the provided data: cross-section width w = 20 mm, cross-section hight h = 93 mm, length of the beam L =3 m , beam material’s Young’s modulus Q =226 GPa, applied bending moment MB = 11 kN.m The value of the deflection at Point B caused by MB ( Part I) can be calculated as ......(in mm)
