Maximum deflection at load
Where:
E = | Modulus of Elasticity | psi |
(N/mm2) |
I = | Moment of Inertia | in4 | (mm4) |
W = | Load | lbs | (N) |
s = | Stress at the cross-section being evaluated | Lbs/in2 | (N/mm2) |
y = | Deflection | inches | (mm) |
x = | Some distance as indicated | inches | (mm) |
![]() |
Some distance as indicated | inches | (mm) |
Z = |
section modulus of the cross-section of the beam = I/z | in3 | (mm3) |
z = |
distance from neutral axis to extreme fiber (edge) | inches | (mm) |
- Please note letter "
" (lower case "L") is different than "I" (Moment of Inertia).
- Deflections apply only to constant cross sections along entire length
