Cantilever Beam with Moment at Free Edge Deflection Example | Mechanics of Solids

http://goo.gl/WzHylm for more FREE video tutorials covering Mechanics of Solids and Structural Mechanics This video presents an example of finding the equation of deflection of cantilever beam subjected to a moment on free edge. Unlike previous examples, the load function or the moment equation is not given in this example. Therefore, the moment’ equation has to be derived in this lesson establishing the principle of equilibrium. First part of the video shows the derivation of moment equation taking cuts and drawing the bending moment diagram over the schematic of given cantilever beam using the equilibrium method explaining all the necessary facts and figures in details. Next, the video recalls the differential equation of deflection in terms of moment and substitutes the parameter moment with the obtained equation of bending moment. Moving on, the video does the integrations 2 times to get the ultimate equation of deflection & successively shows the procedures to get the values of integration constants applying different boundary conditions as well as derives the formula of maximum deflection for the given structural section of cantilever beam.
