I'm sorry that I'm just now responding. Unfortunately, I only just noticed your comment. When I once again lost myself to my own video. Well, a point load, in my opinion, cannot be defined as a function as easily as, say, a line load. I'm not a mathematician, but I would say that a point load does not fulfill the character of a function. Therefore, I don't think this analytical approach would work with it. However, it would be more interesting to try this approach with different kind of line loads within one function. This could possibly work depending on the type of the used integration method. But I am open for a discussion. If someone has a better idea, he should share it with us!
Hi!, How would you define the load equation in mathcad if the load wasn't distributed but a concentrated?.. using the same method of integration.
