DOUBLE INTEGRATION METHOD
The double integration method is a procedure to establish the equations for slope and deflection at points along
the elastic curve of a loaded beam. The equations are derived by integrating the differential equation of the
elastic curve twice. The method assumes that all deformations are produced by moment.

MOMENT-AREA METHOD
There are two moment-area theorems. These theorems were developed by Otto Mohr and later stated formally
by Charles E. Greene in 1872. These theorems provide a semi-graphical technique for determining the slope of
the elastic curve and its deflection due to bending. They are particularly advantageous when used to solve
problems involving beams especially those subjected to serious of concentrated loadings or having segments with
different moments of inertia. The first theorem is used to calculate a change in slope between two points on
the elastic curve. The second theorem is used to compute the vertical distance (called a tangential deviation)
between a point on the elastic curve and a line tangent to the elastic curve at a second point. These quantities
are illustrated in the following figure.

Derivation of the moment-area theorems : The It states that the change in slope of the tangents on
relation between slope and moment and bending either side of the element dx is equal to the area
stiffness EI is under the M/EI diagram. Integrating from point A on
the elastic curve to point B we have,

The ordinates of the moment curve must be divided by the bending stiffness EI to produce M/EI curve. The last
equation forms the basis for the first moment-area theorem.
The change in slope between any two points on a continuous elastic curve is equal to the area
under the M/EI curve between these points.

The tangential deviation at a point B on a continuous elastic curve from a tangent drawn to the elastic
curve at a second point A is equal to the moment about B of the area under the M/EI diagram between
the two points.

CONJUGATE BEAM METHOD
The method was first presented by Otto Mohr in 1860. This method relies only the principles of statics and
hence its application will be more familiar. The basis for the method comes from the similarity between both

= −q = −Q or........ 2 = q
dx dx dx
which relate a beam’s internal shear and moment to its applied loading, and
dθ M d2y M
= 2
=
dx EI dx EI
which relate the slope and deflection of its elastic curve to the internal moment divided by EI. Or integrating
We want to replace the integration indicated in the equations by drawing the shear and bending moment diagrams. To
do this we will consider a beam having the same length as the real beam, bot referred to here as the conjugate beam.
It is loaded with the M/EI diagram of the real beam. Shear and moment diagrams of the conjugate beam represent
one and two integrations, respectively of the M/EI diagram of the real beam. We thus conclude that shear and
moment diagrams of the conjugate beam represent the slope and deflection of the real beam. Now we can therefore
state two theorems related to conjugate beam, namely
Theorem 1: The slope at a point in the real beam is equal to the shear at the corresponding point in the conjugate
beam.
Theorem 2: The displacement at a point in the real beam is equal to the moment at the corresponding point in the
conjugate beam.
Since each of the previous equations requires integration it is important that the proper boundary conditions be used
when they are applied.

REAL BEAM CONJUGATE BEAM
As a rule, neglecting axial force, statically determinate real beams have statically indeterminate conjugate beams;
and statically indeterminate real beams, as in the last figure above become unstable conjugate beams. Although this
occurs, the M/EI loading will provide the necessary “equilibrium” to hold the conjugate beam stable.

EXTERNAL WORK AND STRAIN ENERGY
Most energy methods are based on the conservation of the energy which states that work done by all the
external forces acting on a structure, W, is transformed into internal work or strain energy U, which is
developed when the structure deforms. If the material’s elastic limit is not exceeded, the elastic strain energy
will return the structure to its undeformed state when the loads are removed.
W=U
External work done by a force : When a force F undergoes a
displacement dx in the same direction as the force, the work done is,
dW = F .dx

However if the moment is already applied to the structure and other loadings further distort the structure by an
amount Θ’ , then the M rotates Θ’ , and the work is

Since the strain energy U stored in a deformed structure is equal to the work performed by the external loads
∂U The partial derivative of the strain energy in a structure with respect to one of the
= ∆i external loads acting on the structure is equal to the displacement at that force in
∂ Pi the direction of the force. This relation is known as Castigliano’s theorem

∆ = External displacement
P= External force applied to the beam or frame in the direction of the desired displacement
M= Internal moment in the beam or frame, expressed as function of x and caused by both the force P and the real loads.
E= Modulus of elasticity
I= Moment of inertia of cross sectional area computed about the neutral axis.
If the slope Θ at a point is to be determined, the partial derivative of the internal moment M with respect to an
external couple moment M’ acting at the point must be computed.

The above equations are similar to those used for the method of virtual work except the partial derivatives replace
moments due to unit loads like the case of trusses, slightly more calculations is generally required to determine the
partial derivatives and apply Castigliano’s theorem rather than use the method of virtual force method.
