변화위치 집중하중을 받는 변단면 단순보의 비선형 거동

This paper explores the non-linear behavior of tapered beam subjected to a floating concentration load. For applying the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory to this beam, the bending moment at any point of elastical is obtained from the final equilibrium stage. By using the bending moment equation and the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory, the differential equations governing the elastica of simple beam are derived , and solved numberically . Three kinds of tapered beam types are considered . The numerical results of the non-linear behavior obtained in this study are agreed quite well to the results obtained from the laboratory-scale experiments.
