Ritz method for a fixed-hinged beam.
The trial function for case C led to the exact solution. The results are summarized in
Fig. 7.2.
EXAMPLE 7.6 A Field Theory Problem: Torsion
Apply the Ritz Method to find the warping function, torsional constant, and stresses for an
elliptical cross-section (Fig. 7.3) of a uniform bar subjected to a pure torque.
From the principle of vir
