But looking at the deformed shape of the beam, it looks like a U so the curvature is not constant ?

So having a constant moment will necessarily induce a constant curvature? Or a linear deflexion?

Thanks for your reply SO what does it mean to have a constant curvature? There is still bending, the beam will not go flat?

Hi Everybody, I'm working on a beam diagrams and stress in beam. First question, having a constant bending moment, such as 4 point flexural model, what does it mean on the shape? There is still bending, but does that mean that the area is not changing? Also if the load is distributed, the...

Thanks for these additional info, very helpful. About the statically determined structure, I know what the criteria is, regarding the number of unknown vs number of equations. But what I can't understand is how can we "SEE" an indeterminate structure? What are the consequences of such a...

Hi JAE, Thanks for the quick reply and the infos! it's much clearer now, so if I got the point, a stiffer part of the structure will attract more internal force, and then the resulting stress at each location will depend on the geometry. So a stiff member will attract more force but not...

Hello everybody, I'm fairy new to structural engineering in aerospace, and I try to get a better understanding and good "sense" of prediction of the structure behaviour. So I've got a couple of questions related to strength and stiffness. Can someone explain me why a stiffer structure will...
