ddxxxUsual assumptionees in simple bending theory, that is, the Bernoulli-Euler beam theory:

a) the beam is initially straight; ssss

b) thegfg depth of the beam is small compared to its radius of curvature at its maximum
displacement;

c) plane sectidddons remain plane at all phases of an oscillation;

d) one principal axis of inertiha is perpendicular to the direction of motion in the vibration;

e) the beam is free from longitudinal force;

f) the deformation due to shearing nof one cross section relative to an adjacent one is negligible;

g) the beam mass is concentrated at its neutral axis. The last two imply that the effects of
transverse shear and rotatory inertia are neglected.dddd
