Front end: general beam

An experimental program for structural engineering application

Purpose: compute/plot: deflection, slope, bending moment, and shear diagrams

Input data for beam properties:

Beam span length (m)	L =	12
Beam's section area moment of inertia (x 10^-6 m⁴)	I =	50.0
Young's modulus (x 10⁹ N/m²)	E =	200.0

Multiple loads (max. 2 point, +2 UDL, and +2 bending loads) can be superposed on this beam.

Input data for 0-2 point loads:

		#1	#2	← check/uncheck to include/exclude load(s)
Point load (kN)	P =	– 10.0	– 10.0	← check to signify negative value of P ← slide to get the desired value of P ← current value of P (kN)
Distance from left (m)	a =	0.5	1.0	← slide to get the desired value of a ← current value of a (m); a ≤ L

Input data for 0-2 distributed loads:

		#1	#2	← check/uncheck to include/exclude load(s)
Uniformly distributed load (kN/m)	q =			← check to signify negative value of q
Left unfilled distance (m)	a =			a+b < L
Right unfilled distance (m)	b =			a+b < L

Input data for 0-2 bending moment loads:

		#1	#2	← check/uncheck to include/exclude load(s)
Bending moment load (kN.m)	M =			← check to signify negative value of M
Distance from left (m)	a =			a ≤ L
