SS-V: 1120 Simply Supported Beam with Mid-span Load

Test No. VS13 Find the max displacement and stress for a pinned beam with load at the midpoint.

Definition

The units are SI.

The reference solution for max displacement is given by:(1)

δ_{m a x} = \frac{F L^{3}}{48 E I}

Where,

The reference solution for max displacement is given by:(2)

σ_{m a x} = \frac{F L}{4 Z}

Where,

The following table summarizes the displacement and stress results.
