Problem 7 (Rayleigh-Ritz Method) Consider the transversely loaded beam shown in the figure below. The bar is of stiffness E, length L, inertia I and cross-section A. It is subjected to a uniformly distributed transverse load Po. (a) (b) (c) (d) y X Po K Write down the expression of the total potential energy for this structural system. What are the essential boundary conditions for this problem? Consider the four basis functions below from the Fourier series sin(x/L), cos(x/L), sin(2x/L), cos(2x/L) Which of these basis functions is/are admissible? Explain why. Use the simplest Fourier series basis function from above to determine an approximate solution for the transverse displacement.
