In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle of superposition, the moment-area method, and Castigliano's theorem, which is based on strain energy. 00:00 - Introduction 01:58 - Double Integration Method 08:19 - Macaulay's Method 12:07 - Superposition Method 13:20 - Moment-Area Method 17:24 - Castigliano's Theorem 20:26 - Outro --- If you would like to support the channel, please consider becoming a Patron - https://www.patreon.com/efficientengineer.
