Question:

A simple beam AB of length L and height h undergoes a temperature change such that the bottom of the beam is at temperature T2 and the top of the beam is at temperature T1 (see figure).

Determine the equation of the deflection curve of the beam, the angle of rotation Î¸A at the left-hand support, and the deflection Î´max at the midpoint.
