Abstract
This paper describes a solution to the flexural analysis
of a beam by digital computer. Subroutines were written
which calculate shear, moment, slope and deflection at any
specified point on a beam if the loading is known. Shear
deflection may be included for many support conditions.
Neither elastic supports nor column effects are considered.
The subroutines solve problems of variable beam cross- section
and loading by utilizing an extension of "McCaulay's Method",
a generalized step function. The main program provides input-output facilities and
also solves for Indeterminate reaotions on the beam.
Problems and their solutions, showing the versatility
of this program, are also included.
