@rb1957 - Looking into it as of now...... @prex many thanks great example, to confirm the max deflection is 2.73mm?

Hi, This is my first time i have came across this sort of problem so have limited experience on the subject. My problem is; i have a plate which is fully fixed at one end and side (perpendicular to each other) the remaining side are free. The force on the plate is transmitted via a swivel...

sorry forgot to add my UDL = 28.9kN/m

rb1972 thanks ive calculated a critical load of 89.15kN for a 20mm section / thickness with a total length of 3840mm and E as 200GPa does that sound reasonable ? Thanks for the help!

Consider the beam is fixed in the Y axis ie; fully supported. Attached sketch for clarity http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=970d24c5-1475-4f76-b632-8b339548e3aa&file=H_beam.pdf

rb1957 and fegenbush, thanks for your comments. It still seems a little unclear to me. the 'H' beam will only have a compressive force on the Web ie; the 'H' beam is in the horizontal plane. U.D.L in the vertical axis No axial load will be applied (in the horizontal plane), Specifically i...

Hi all, I have a question regarding the application of the Euler Buckling theory. Q - Can this theory / equation be applied to a horizontal 'H' beam with a U.D.L? with the flanges in the Horizontal axis, ie; the web will be buckling / taking the compression load. (Boundary conditions fully...

rb1957; correct the CG is for the sum of the applied loads, as this is the only info I have on the applied force.

Desert Fox, Many thanks for your efforts with this, I have gone through the equation and came to very similar bending moments for Mb and Mc (slight differences for rounding). One last question if the regarding the '-' reactions Ra & Rb if the beam infinitely stiff would these values be...

desertfox, one question regarding your answer; have you assumed an area ie; considered it are a beam hence the 17985 and 4.95 values? thanks bert

Thanks desertfox i can view your solution as the tiff. ill run through your calc and get my bearings again with 'three moment equation' great help much appreciated Bert

Hi all, been quite a while since I have been on here...... I have a problem I hope some of you can point me in the correct direction; I have a simple beam reaction calc I need to calculate each reaction based upon one load. I cant remember the last time I done this for four reactions...

Thanks Denial almost spot on , as you said improving only be removing the helper column. thanks!

thanks DRWeig, great help!

Hi, Bit rusty on the old excel. Could someone point me in the direction of what I need to do for; having a series of data values in a vertical column searching for values between two numbers ie: 12 & 15, then displaying the values in a new table . thanks for the help. Bert.
