Problem 4.35: The bending moment and transverse deflection in a beam according to the Euler-Bernoulli beam theory are related by

For statically determinate beams, one can readily obtain the expression for the bending moment in terms of the applied loads. Thus, is a known function of Determine the maximum deflection of the simply supported beam under uniform load (see Fig. P4.35) using the finite element method.
