You're trying to find the displacement of the bar with the load distributed longitudinally at a point A. You use the formula displacement = PL/AE where P=load, L=length of member, A=cross-sectional area tangent to the load, and E=Young's modulus.
Consider the beam of Fig. 1.14 axially loaded along the x axis in com-pression. If a small load or displacement is applied laterally at the location of the axial load, the beam bends slightly. If the lateral load is removed, the beam returns to its straight position.
Apply a free-body analysis to the bar BDE to find the forces exerted by links AB and DC. Evaluate the deformation of links AB and DC or the displacements of B and D. Work out the geometry to find the deflection at E given the deflections at B and D. Example 5 (cont’d) SOLUTION: Free body: Bar BDE. ∑ MB = 0.
Displacement diagrams are effectively plotting the displacement vectors of the joints as defined by the end of the bars. The displacement vector for the end of a bar is made up of two components: (1) an extension, of a magnitude defined by the bar force and the constitutive behavior of the bar which is parallel to the direction of the bar and (2) a
$\delta = \dfrac{PL}{AE} = \dfrac{\sigma L}{E}$ To use this formula, the load must be axial, the bar must have a uniform cross-sectional area, and the stress must not exceed the proportional limit. If however, the cross-sectional area is not uniform, the axial deformation can be determined by considering a differential length and applying ...
8 wrz 2022 · δ(ΔL) = Pydx AE δ ( Δ L) = P y d x A E. The link has then put the value of Py P y and integrated from 0 to L to get the total change in length. The formula PL AE P L A E is valid only when the load P applied is gradual (that is it is a gradually applied load that increases from 0 to P).
\(\delta_P = \dfrac{PL^3}{48EI}\) where the length \(L\) and the moment of inertia \(I\) are geometrical parameters. If the ratio of \(\delta_P\) to \(P\) is measured experimentally, the modulus \(E\) can be determined. A stiffness measured this way is called the flexural modulus.
