,"It would be incorrect to cut this structure in half to remove the right side. The full length of the beam is required to correctly represent the stiffness of the flexure.". Why so? I mean if I have a solid rod with length of 100 mm and I apply a transverse load at right end with left end fixed, then the displacement and stress results at the half of the beam i.e. 50 mm would be same if I cut theis solid beam in half and put a remote force at the cut cross section (at the same location as in first case), isn't it?
Plus, does the remote force also change location with the displacement of the cross section during solution in a non-linear solution? We know that the direction will still be the same but what about change in location of the remote force during solution as the general force does?
