Assume that the deflections are also symmetric so that


The beam shown is subjected to symmetric loading as shown. Assume that the deflections are also symmetric, so that points A and D each deflect inwardly (parallel to the load P) by v0 Use conservation of energy to determine the deflection Note that both forces do work through the deflection The beam has uniform bending stiffness EI.
