Concept explainers
A simply supported beam is loaded as shown in Fig. P2.22. Using singularity functions, the displacement along the beam can be expressed by the equation:
By definition, the singularity function can be expressed as follows:
Develop a program that creates a plot of displacement versus distance along the beam x. Note that
