No.3- Cantilever Beam
A cantilevered structural member has a large mass of 240 kg at the right-hand end. The beam is made of aluminum with modulus of elasticity of 70 GPa , a mass density of 2700kgm3and Poisson's ratio of 0.33. Given that its cross section is square with a dimension of 100 mm , its length is L=1.0 m.
A) Use Strength of Materials principles to determine a general formula for the deflection, at the right-hand end (x=L).(you can look up the formula in a strength of materials text or online).
B) Using the formula for the end deflection in A) to determine an equation for the effective stiffness (Keff) of this system by writing the equation in the form F=Keff**.
C) Determine the deflection at the end of the beam due to the mass M. Would you consider this large or small?
D) Compute the ratio of the mass, M, to the mass of the beam.
