Abstract

The paper presents a methodology to obtain the stress solution of a simply supported beam subjected to arbitrary load with the help of, elasticity based, Fourier series approach. The applied load spectrum is converted into Fourier series with constant, sine and cosine components for which the solutions are available. The individual solutions are superimposed to obtain the final result. Deviations are noticed on comparing the results with those obtained from the conventional strength of material approach.
