Numerical solution to the Euler-Bernouilli equation

Simple supported beam



The problem of finding the large deflection for a simple supported beam can be solved in a similar way.

We do not know the deflection angle at the end points, but we can still calculate the deflection curve.

The curve will look like:



So we have to rotate the curve before we recalculate the moments.
