Beam Deflection

Maximum deflection for the four most common beam/load cases, from Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Pick a case, fill in the load, span, modulus, and second moment of area, and solve.

SIMPLE + POINT P CANTILEVER + POINT P SIMPLE + UDL w CANTILEVER + UDL w dashed = deflected shape
Four standard cases: point load or uniform load (w), simply supported or cantilevered.
