Double Integration Method for Beam Deflection

The document discusses the double integration method for calculating the deflection and slope of beams under load, highlighting key assumptions and definitions. It contrasts this method with the Moment Area method, noting that the former is a mathematical approach suitable for complex beams, while the latter is graphical and more qualitative. Additionally, it defines the elastic curve as the view of the neutral surface of a deflected beam.

Double integration method

Deflection of beam:
The degree to which a structural element is moved from its original position under a load (due to
its deformation).

Figure 1: Deflection of cantilever beam

Figure 2:Defection of different types of beams


Assumptions of double integration method:
➢ It is assumed that stresses caused by bending are below the proportional limit
➢ A plan section across the beam remain same after the beam is bent
➢ The length of elastic curve is the same as the length of the horizontal projection
Slope of beam:
Slope of a beam is the angle between deflected beam to the actual beam at the same point

Difference between Moment Area and Double Integration method

Moment Area Double Integration


1. Graphical approach Mathematical approach
2. Qualitative method Quantitative method
3. Start with drawing B.M. D Start with defining differential equation

4. Suitable for simple beam (regular loading For more complex beam (irregular loading)

Elastic curve:
The edge view of the neutral surface of a deflected beam is called elastic curve.
= slope

= deflection
