EXAMPLES: BOUNDARY CONDITIONS FOR BEAMS IN BENDING
Rigid body mass at each end
Figure 11↓ shows a beam with rigid body mass at each end. A rigid body mass will effect the boundary condition on shear for the same as point mass, so we avoid repeating it here again. At same time, a rigid body effects boundary condition on moment due to non-zero moment of inertia. Figure 12↓ shows action and reaction moment on rigid body mass and beam. One can write moment equilibrium equation for rigid bodies and boundary conditions as below

(13) x = 0 : M = Icαm M = Ic(3w)/(xt2) x = l : M =  − Icαm M =  − Ic(3w)/(xt2)
where αm is the angular acceleration of the rigid body equal to (3w)/(xt2) and
with the Euler-Bernoulli assumption:
(14) x = 0 : M = EI(2w)/(x2) = Ic(3w)/(xt2)x = 0 x = l : M =  − EI(2w)/(x2) = Ic(3w)/(xt2)x = l
