"Fixed" means that the ends cannot translate and cannot rotate. So, the beam cannot translate and cannot rotate

Are fixed end beams an indeterminate structure?

Yes, they are. You can use online calculator for fised beam to find bending moment and fixed-end moment due to different load cases.


What are the types of beams in an aircraft?

cantilever beam,contineous beam,fixed beam,simply supported beam


Will a cantilever slab have beam at its fixed end and what is the load distribution for it like triangular......?

it will need a suppot element , depper and stiffer concrete members will act as support


What is the definition of plinth beam?

plinth beam is a part of a structure can transfer loads to the adjacent columns


In a cantilever beam point load is applied on free end where failure will occur?

The maximum tensile stress will occur at the fixed end on the side the load is applied to. An equal compressive stress will occur on the opposite side. Shear stress is typically neglected because it is relatively small compared to the stresses due to the bending moment. Stress S is found using:S = M*c/Iwhere M is the moment at the point in question (maximum at the fixed end), I is the moment of inertia of the beam/tube, and c is the distance from the centroid/centerline to the point in question. Again the maximum stress occurs farthest from the load and farthest from the centerline/centroid (I don't recall which one is used, but they're the same if the beam/tube is symmetrical).Moment is simple,M = P * Lwhere P is the load perpendicular to the beam in units of force, and L is the length from the load to the point in question or fixed end.c is also simple, for a 1"x1" box tube c equal 1" divided by 2. So c = 0.5".The moment of inertia I will depend on the shape of the tube or beam and can be easily calculated using the appropriate formula from a table.

What is the advantage and disadvantages of fixed beams?

There isn't really an advantage of having a fixed beam vs. a simply supported beam, it depends on what application the beam is for. If one of the design criteria of the beam is that it be able to deflect from one end to another then you are going to want to use a fixed beam. For example such applications could include a diving bored. A simply supported beam differs from a fixed beam because the beam is supported at both ends. Thus when a simply supported beam is loaded, the deflection will occur throughout the beam, since the ends are confined and will remain as they were. Furthermore on a fixed beam, (the end that is fixed) will have restrictive forces and moments keeping the end from moving.


What is propped simply supported beam?

A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A propped cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation) and simply supported ( no translation) at the other end. A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends. A propped simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends and simply supported at some other point such as at the center, to reduce deflection under load. Propped beams are statically indeterminate.


What is the difference between a beam fixed at both ends and a cantilever beam?

A cantilever has only one end or point fixed; this is an obvious difference between having two points or both ends fixed. The nature of bending moment is same throughout the span in the case of a cantilever beam whereas a fixed beam has both types of nature, i.e. sagging as well as hogging.


Condition that will increase the moment in beam?

If the beam is fixed to the wall at one end and then you apply a force at the other, then bingo!, you have a moment about the point in the wall.


What is a fixing moments of a fixed beam?

A fixed beam is a beam the ends of which are constrained or built-in to remain in horizontal position. Point to be noted for the fixed beam: 1. The beam is stiffer, stronger and more stable. 2. The slope at both the ends is zero. 3. Due to the fixidity, the moment will be induced at each end. 4. The induced moments will be in the opposite direction to that of moments due to external loading.


Why do stars and planets appear to move across the skye?

It is the opposite principle as looking out a moving cars window, close objects move fast while far away objects move slow. It is a speed to distance ratio, a beam with a axis on one end moves faster at the free end and slower at the fixed end. When looking out a moving car window, you would be on the free end of the beam looking at the fixed end of the beam. (the far way object.) when on earth looking at the stars, you are on the fixed end looking at the free end.(the stars)

What is fixed end connections in the beam?

"Fixed" means that the ends cannot translate and cannot rotate. "Pinned" means that the ends cannot translate but can rotate.
