![]() The last two assumptions satisfy the kinematic requirements for the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory and are adopted here too. This is the case when the cross-section height is quite smaller than the beam length (10 times or more) and also the cross-section is not multi layered (not a sandwich type section). Every cross-section that initially is plane and also normal to the longitudinal axis, remains plane and and normal to the deflected axis too. ![]() The cross section is the same throughout the beam length.The loads are applied in a static manner (they do not change with time).The material is homogeneous and isotropic (in other words its characteristics are the same in ever point and towards any direction).The response resultants and deflections presented in this page are calculated taking into account the following assumptions: Therefore axial forces can be commonly neglected. the transverse shear forces V, and theįor a fixed beam, that is loaded by transverse loads only (so that their direction is perpendicular to the beam longitudinal axis), the axial force is always zero, provided the deflections remain small.When the structure is 2-dimensional, and the imposed loads are exercised in the same 2D plane, there are just three resultant actions of interest: Typically, when performing a static analysis of a load bearing structure, the internal forces and moments, as well as the deflections must be calculated. The fixed beam is an indeterminate (or redundant) structure. Redundant structures can tolerate one or more local failures before they become mechanisms. ![]() To the contrary, a structure that features more supports than required to restrict its free movements is called redundant or indeterminate structure. If a local failure occurs to these, they would collapse. The structures that offer no redundancy, are called critical or determinant structures. In this situation the structure could move without restriction in one or more directions. To the contrary, a structure without redundancy, would turn to a mechanism, if any of its supports were removed. In other words the fixed beam offers redundancy in terms of supports. Indeed the second fixed support could be removed entirely, turning the structure to a cantilever beam, which is still a sound load bearing structure. The fixed beam features more supports than required to be statically sound. The fixed beam features two fixed supports, one at each end Restraining rotations results in zero slope at the two ends, as illustrated in the following figure. Fixed supports inhibit all movement, including vertical or horizontal displacements as well as rotations. It features only two supports, both of them fixed ones. The fixed beam (also called clamped beam) is one of the most simple structures.
