(5) A simply-supported beam has been subjected to an applied moment at midspan. The M(x) equations have been supplied. Sketch v(x) and write the v(x) equations for 0?x1??L/2 and for L/2?x2??L. Hint: Two of the four constraint equations are related to slope and deflection compatibility at x=L/2. Use anti-symmetry to your advantage. Ans. v1?=24EIM0??[L4x13???x1?L];v2?=24EIM0??[L4x23???12x22?+11Lx2??3L2]
