A cantilevered beam of length 2L is loaded with a concentrated couple M_0 at its midpoint C and with a concentrated force P_0 at end D. The beam has a flexural rigidity of EI. Using either second-order or fourth-order integration methods, determine expressions for the deflection v(x) for the beam over the range of 0 Solution The answer of following question is as follows. The maximum deflection for the given beam is (PL^3)/3EI.
