Summary

A graphical method is developed for solving the problem of the beam with variable section, bent by transverse loads and an axial load. The latter may be either tensile or compressive. The beam on statically determinate supports is first dealt with, successively as regards the stress and the deformation. Then a similar procedure is followed for a beam with redundant supports. Finally, the case is studied when there is no transverse load at all, that is buckling only.

* It must be noticed that the projections of the total force on the axes bound to the section are S+Na = M ' and N - Sa . The latter is thus not constant.
