Geometry

Sketch the Midline

Specify Moment of Inertia

Check Your Understanding

Select the correct option below.

Consider the case where we replace our square cross-section in ANSYS with a different cross-section that has a lower cross-sectional area but the same moment of inertia. How is the total potential energy of the beam affected?

It:

  1. Decreases
  2. Stays the same 
  3. Increases
