ABSTRACT


Abstract

This paper investigates the series solution of Euler – Bernoulli beam with a concentrated load. The governing partial differential equation was transformed to Ordinary Differential Equation. Graphical representation of the various deflections of the beam with respect to varying parameters was depicted. It was shown that as the mass increases, the deflection also increases and as the mass of beam decreases the deflection also increases.

Keywords: Euler – Bernoulli beam; beam; Load; series solution; Concentrated Load.
