Mar 15, 2022 at 3:36 comment added Harshit Rajput @Chemomechanics I thought a little, and this is what I have - If I differentiate the first equation and equate it to 0, I get a value of x, if that value of x lies between 0 to a, then that result is feasible. If the value is -ve or >a then the result is not feasible. I can repeat the same process with the second equation, to see if the value of x that I get is feasible or not. Does that seem right?
Mar 14, 2022 at 20:26 comment added Chemomechanics If you encounter an ambiguity, try to push through and investigate it rather than stopping. What do you get when you solve $\frac{dv}{dx}=0$ for the two intervals? Plot the deflection; where does the maximum deflection appear? What conclusions can you draw?
Mar 14, 2022 at 15:55 comment added Harshit Rajput To make it clear, I'm not talking about the deflection under the load, but the maximum deflection.
Mar 14, 2022 at 15:35 comment added Harshit Rajput It's not making sense to me, how can we determine a deflection which is in the portion 0<x<a, using the equation which is valid for a<x<L ?
Mar 14, 2022 at 14:38 comment added r13 Why confused? Both will give the identical result, but the first equation is easier to work with, thus less likely to make mistakes.
Mar 14, 2022 at 12:17 comment added Solar Mike Either should give the same deflection unless the beam is discontinuous at that point.
