    How do I model an Indeterminately Loaded Beam using theory?

    It should still work with superposition. In calculating the stress you would figure out three simultaneous equations for the beam, by breaking loose all the redundant fixtures, until the beam is determinate and replacing them with unknown reactions. This beam set up is the same as a...

    How do I model an Indeterminately Loaded Beam using theory?

    Can you clarify how it is clamped. Is it supported on both ends or is set up as a cantilever? If it is set up in cantilever configuration use this equation to model it. deflection = Load/(6 * Modulus of Elasticity * Moment of Inertia) * (2 * l^3 - 3 * l^2*x + x^3) l = length of beam from...

    Can I work under a Mechanical PE if I want to take the Civil PE exam?

    I am a Civil Engineering major, and I work full time as an Energy Rater and would like to pursue this career path. When I look around the leaders in the energy rating/auditing industry, I see a mix of Civil and Mechanical engineers all with PE's. I am trying to find work under these PE certified...
