Example 4.13 Determine vertical deflection and rotation of point B of the beam shown in Figure 4.19(a). The beam is subjected to a couple at C .

Solution: Vertical deflection of B : Apply a unit load at B as shown in Figure 4.19(b). Consider any point X at a distance of x from C

		(0< x < a + b )
		(0< x < b )
=		(b < x < a + b )

The vertical deflection of point B is given by

Rotation of B : Apply a unit couple at B as shown in Figure 4.19(c). Consider any point X at a distance of x from C

The rotation of point B is given by
