Chapter 9 - Deflections Using Energy Methods

  • East Asian Educators Want To Find Out What Makes US Students Good At Creativity, Critical Thinking. 
    • Voice of America (10/13) reports, "High school students in Asia often do better than American students on international math and science tests." Still, "some of these same countries want to learn what makes American students good at creativity and critical thinking." VOA reports, "Foreign educators often visit Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology in Alexandria, Virginia, near Washington. This past summer, seventy-five school principals visited from China." Evan Glazer, the principal of Thomas Jefferson, said, "Curriculum, when it's seen within one particular context, you're really just developing knowledge and skills. But if you want to look at the complexity of real problems and original solutions, it requires people to come at them from different angles. And so we foster a lot of team teaching, with pairing up teachers from different disciplines so that, when they're offering challenges to students, that they have a variety of perspectives as they approach problems."  (ASEE First Bell, 2011-10-13)

Objectives
  • Judge the location and direction to place a unit load/moment in order to determine a structure's deflection/slope using virtual work.
  • Judge which formula(s) to use.
    • external loading
      • axial: 1·Δ = Σ(nNL/AE)
      • bending: 1·Δ = ∫ (mM/EI) dx
      • bending: 1·θ = ∫ (mθM/EI) dx
    • temperature: 1·Δ = Σ(nα ΔT L)
    • fabrication errors: 1·Δ = Σ(n ΔL)
  •  Judge the most efficient strategy for solving the problem.
    1. define variable loads/moments, draw generic free-body diagram, derive generic formulas, and then plug in values for different scenarios
    2. study effects of real load(s) using specific free-body diagram and formulas, then independently study effects of virtual load(s) using specific free-body diagram and formulas
  • Draw the free-body diagram(s) corresponding to the selected strategy.
  • Derive the formulas corresponding to the selected strategy.
  • Summarize results in table format, and then use appropriate formula from above.
  • Check unit conversions.
