Popis: This study deals with two general solutions for a simply supported linear elastic Bernoulli–Euler beam with a stochastic bending flexibility, subjected to a deterministic loading. Two model problems are considered. The first problem is associated with a trapezoidally distributed load, whereas the second problem treats a sinusoidally distributed load. The importance of the solution for the trapezoidal load lies in its practicality. The derivation of stochastic characteristics for random beams under a sinusoidal load is useful due to the expandability to generally distributed loads by a Fourier sine series expansion. Numerical results are reported for various cases illustrating the effect of stochasticity of the beam’s properties on its flexural response.
