Direct Integration Of A Beam
Direct integration is a structural analysis method for measuring internal shear, internal moment, rotation, and deflection of a beam.
For a beam with an applied weight, taking downward to be positive, the internal shear force is given by taking the negative integral of the weight:
The internal moment M(x) is the integral of the internal shear:
- =
The angle of rotation from the horizontal, is the integral of the internal moment divided by the product of the Young's modulus and the area moment of inertia:
Integrating the angle of rotation obtains the vertical displacement :

“The most passionate, consistent, extreme and implacable enemy of the Enlightenment and ... all forms of rationalism ... was Johann Georg Hamann. His influence, direct and indirect, upon the romantic revolt against universalism and scientific method ... was considerable and perhaps crucial.”
—Isaiah Berlin (b. 1909)
“The more specific idea of evolution now reached is—a change from an indefinite, incoherent homogeneity to a definite, coherent heterogeneity, accompanying the dissipation of motion and integration of matter.”
—Herbert Spencer (1820–1903)
“Why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?”
—Bible: New Testament Jesus, in Matthew, 7:3.
