Differential equation of elastic curve (Euler-Bernoulli):
ANo equation
BEI d²y/dx² = M (where y = deflection, M = bending moment)
CEI = M
Dy = M
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: B. EI d²y/dx² = M (where y = deflection, M = bending moment)
Beam deflection: EI(d²y/dx²) = M(x). Integrate twice (using boundary conditions) to get y(x). Methods: double integration, Macaulay's method (for multiple loads), moment-area, conjugate beam, virtual work, Castigliano.
