Procedure calculates reactions in simple beam under uniformly distributed load. Support A is considered left, support B is right.

General information

Procedure BeamType1_UDL_Reactions calculates reactions [N] in simple beam. Support A is considered left, support B is right. You can use this routine in your applications and reports during linear static analysis.

TechEditor - Mechanics Library

General equations:

\[R_a = w \cdot L_w \frac{2b + L_w}{2L}; R_b = w \cdot L_w \frac{2a + L_w}{2L}\]

Recommended units of measurement

a, b, L, Lw, x — meter [m];
w — newton per meter [N/m];
Ra, Rb — newton [N].

DLL

dystlab.mechanics.dll

Usage format (Pascal)

procedure BeamType1_UDL_Reactions(w, a, b, L: Double; var Ra, Rb: Double); stdcall; external [DllName];

Parameters:

w — intensity of the unirformly distributed load [N/m];
a — distance between start point of the load and support A [m];
b — distance between end of the load and support B [m];
L — beam length [m];
Ra — reaction (force) at support A [N];
Rb — reaction (force) at support B [N].

Return value

Procedure returns in Ra, Rb correspondent reactions [N]. If errors (for example, L<0), procedure returns Ra=0 and Rb=0.

Directives

DllName — library name. If DLL included in installation pack, then DllName is 'dystlab.mechanics.dll'.
