1st order nonlinear - Nonlinear supports
Problem definition
A 10 long continuous beam is simply supported by three translational springs as shown. All springs have a maximum resistance force of 500. Calculate the reaction forces and deflection at each support.
Assumptions
Axial and shear deformations are ignored.
Key results
Result | Comparison 1 | Solver value |
---|---|---|
LHS Reaction | 250 | 250 |
Centre Reaction | 500 | 500 |
RHS Reaction | 250 | 250 |
LHS Displacement | -0.025 | -0.025 |
Centre Displacement | -0.797 | -0.797 |
RHS Displacement | -0.025 | -0.025 |
Conclusion
An exact match is shown between the solver and the independent analysis package.
