    1. A construction worker was shaking a beam on a construction site, which caused the beam to fail. 2. An engineer was called to analyze the dynamic system and determine the equivalent stiffness of the massless beam. 3. The equivalent stiffness is given by K=P768EI/7L^3, where K is the equivalent stiffness, P is the load on the beam, E is the modulus of elasticity, I is the moment of inertia of the beam, and L is the length of the beam.

    1.

    A construction worker is goofing around on site and is standing on a wood beam at its
    center. The worker is shaking up and down as he does his job but eventually the beam fails.
    The site engineer is called over to analyze the dynamic system to determine the stiffness of
    the beam. Determine the equivalent stiffness, for the massless beam system. Leave your
    answer in terms of E, I, and L. Your degree of freedom is the displacement of the beam in the
    down direction at the point indicated

    Solution,
    5P 11 P
    Reaction at roller support= , So the vertical reaction at the fixed support= and the
    16 16
    3 PL
    moment=
    16
    Breaking the system into two parts and considering the left support, we have M(x) as,

    3 PL 11Px
    M(x)= -
    16 16
    3 PL 11Px
    EI d2 y/ dx2= M(x) = -
    16 16
    3 PLx 11 P 2
    EI ϴ= - x + c1…………………………..(1)
    16 16∗2
    3 PL 2 11 P 3
    EIy= x - x + c1x+ c2……………….(2)
    16∗2 16∗2∗3

    We have, Boundary Conditions:

    For x=0, ϴ=0

    For x= 0, y=0

    Applying these conditions in equation (1) and (2), we get,

    C1=0 and C2=0

    For x=L/2, we get

    3 P 3 11 P 3
    EIy= L - L
    128 768
    7P 3
    EIy= L
    768

    P 768 EI
    Hence, K= =
