calculate shear force diagram and bending moment diagram and deflection by using integration method in matlab

To calculate the shear force diagram, bending moment diagram, and deflection of a beam using the integration method in MATLAB, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Define the beam properties such as length, support conditions, moments, and loads.
  2. Use the differential equations for shear force, bending moment, and deflection of a beam.
  3. Integrate these equations using the boundary conditions to get the final equations for shear force, bending moment, and deflection as functions of distance along the beam.
  4. Plot the obtained functions to visualize the shear force diagram, bending moment diagram, and deflection curve.

Here is an example MATLAB code snippet that demonstrates the calculation of shear force diagram, bending moment diagram, and deflection for a simply-supported beam with a point load:

main.m
% Define beam properties
L = 5; % Beam length (m)
P = 10; % Point load at a distance 'a' from left support (kN)
a = 3; % Distance of point load from left support (m)

% Calculate reactions at supports
Rb = P * (L - a) / L;
Ra = P - Rb;

% Distance along the beam
x = 0:0.1:L;

% Shear force equation
V = @(x) Ra * (x > a) - P;

% Bending moment equation
M = @(x) Ra * x .* (x <= a) - P * (x - a) .* (x > a);

% Deflection equation
E = @(x) Ra * x.^2 / (2 * 24 * 10^3 * 8) .* (x <= a) - P * (x - a).^2 / (2 * 24 * 10^3 * 8) .* (x > a);

% Calculate shear force, bending moment, and deflection
shear_force = V(x);
bending_moment = M(x);
deflection = E(x);

% Plotting the diagrams

You can customize this code according to your beam properties and loading conditions to analyze different cases.
