Chapter 5: Boundary value problems in solid mechanics

Recall governing equations:

Example:

(pages 250-255, Timoshenko & Goodier)Pure bending of a prismatic cantilever beam:

Note: For a cross section at z = c:

Note: For the lateral surfaces of the beam:

Boundary Value Problem

Ch5-BVPs Page 1

Simplifying Assumptions:

These systems of PDEs, cannot be solved analytically, in general. We use numerical methods and use simplifying assumptions.

Read Example 27 from the textbook.(See. 101 from Timoshenko & Goodier)

Example: 2D Plane Problems

Ch5-BVPs Page 2

To understand how to obtain numerical solutions to complicated 2D/3D problems in general, let's first study some 1-D problems where we can usually obtain exact solutions.
