The deflection at B and C is zero, as prescribed by the BCs. With the fixed condition at B, the slope at B is also zero. There are no constraints on the slope of the displacement at C. The deflection ...

This function is approximately linear on the given domain, but has a slope of zero at the origin (Currin et al., 1988). Currin, C., Mitchell, T., Morris, M., & Ylvisaker, D. (1988). A Bayesian ...
