The beam shown below has fixed supports at A and C. There is a concentrated load at B and a uniformly distributed load from B to C. The flexural stiffness of the beam is EI=200000 kip-ft2. Neglect axial deformations of the beam.
Using the two unknown joint displacements shown above, the vertical deflection and rotation of joint B, form the following objects by Displacement Method and solve for D1 and D2.
The joint load vector, hat(P).
The fixed-end force vector, P0.
The stiffness matrix, K.
Solve D=K-1((hat(P))-P0)
D=[-0.0023132-0.00036476]
The beam shown below has fixed supports at A and
