    Moment Area Theorem

    The moment-area theorem is used to calculate the slope, rotation, and deflection of beams and frames subjected to loading. It relates the change in slope between two points on a beam to the area under the curve of the moment divided by the flexural rigidity (M/EI diagram) between those points. Similarly, the vertical deflection of one point relative to another is equal to the moment of the area under the M/EI diagram between those points about the point of deflection. The procedure involves drawing the M/EI diagram, assuming the deflected shape, and using geometry to calculate rotations, slopes and deflections.

    Moment-area theorem

    From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia


    The moment-area theorem is an engineering tool to derive the slope, rotation and
    deflection of beams and frames. This theorem was developed by Mohr and later stated
    namely by Charles E. Greene in 1873. This method is advantageous when we solve
    problems involving beams, especially for those subjected to a series of concentrated
    loadings or having segments with different moments of inertia. If we draw the moment
    diagram for the beam and then divided it by the flexural rigidity(EI), the 'M/EI diagram'
    results by the following equation

    Theorem 1
    The change in slope between any two points on the elastic curve equals the area of the
    M/EI diagram between these two points.
    where,
    M = moment
    EI = flexural rigidity
    = change in slope between points A and B
    A, B = points on the elastic curve
    [1]
    Theorem 2
    The vertical deviation of the tangent at a point A on an elastic curve with respect to the
    tangent which is extended from another point B equals the moment of the area under the

    M/EI diagram between those two points (A and B). This moment is computed about point A
    where the deviation from B to A is to be determined.
    where,
    M = moment
    EI = flexural rigidity
    = deviation of tangent at point B with respect to the tangent at point A
    = centroid of M/EI diagram measured horizontally from point A
    A, B = points on the elastic curve
    [2]
    Rule of Sign Convention
    The deviation at any point on the elastic curve is positive if the point lies above the tangent,
    negative if the point is below the tangent; we measured it from left tangent, if is
    counterclockwise direction, the change in slope is positive, negative if is clockwise
    direction.
    [3]
    Procedure for Analysis
    The following procedure provides a method that may be used to determine the
    displacement and slope at a point on the elastic curve of a beam using the moment-area
    theorem.
    Determine the reaction forces of a structure and draw the M/EI diagram of the
    structure.
    If there are only concentrated loads on the structure, the problem will be easy to
    draw M/EI diagram which will results a series of triangular shapes.
    If there are mixed with distributed loads and concentrated, the moment diagram
    (M/EI) will results parabolic curves, cubic and etc.
    Then, assume and draw the deflection shape of the structure by looking at M/EI
    diagram.
    Find the rotations, change of slopes and deflections of the structure by using the
    geometric mathematics.
