MINIMUM-WEIGHT DESIGN OF BEAMS FOR MULTIPLE LOADING.
Abstract
The paper discusses minimum-weight design of beams of continuously varying cross section that have to carry any one of n systems of loads. The weight per unit length is assumed to be given by w(x) = a + bY(x), where a and b are constants and Y(x) is the yield moment at the cross section x. A design method is presented that remains valid for the extreme cases n = 1 and n = infinity and that enables the designer to prescribe a minimum value Y sub o below which the yield moment is not allowed to drop. The use of the method is illustrated by examples. (Author)
