The curvature of a beam( 2nd derivtive of the deflection) is equal to M/EI or d(dy/dx)/dx=M/EI M= moment applied to beam at x E= modulus of elasticity I= 2nd moment of area or moment of inertia From this you can get the information you need. Modified by Administrator at Sat, Sep 09, 2006, 08:30:43

Stiffness is equal to force divided by deflection. Stiffness is an "intensive property". Meaning that is does not depend on the size or amount of material in the section. Modified by Administrator at Fri, Sep 08, 2006, 19:50:13
