Chapter 6 Problem 4 Draw the influence lines for (a) the vertical reaction at A, (b) the moment at A, and
(c) the shear at B. Assume the support at A is fixed. Solve using Muller-Breslaus principle. Scan of Hand Written Calculations
a) Fy=1 at A b) MA=-10 c) VB=1
Model with Applied Loads
Tables Vertical Reaction at A Fy=1
Moment at A M=-10 (Look to the far right side of the graph)
Shear at B V=1
Results Draw the influence lines for (a) the vertical reaction at A, (b) the moment at A, and (c) the shear at B. Assume the support at A is fixed. Solve using Muller-Breslaus principle. The Muller-Breslaus principle states the influence line for a function is to the same scale as the deflected shape of the beam with the beam is acted upon by the function. a) The vertical reaction at A on both the robot and my calculations were 1. b) The moment at A is negative 10 on both the robot and my calculations. c) The shear at B is 1 on both my calculations and on the robot.
