Formulas

Core equations used by this calculator.

Deflection at xδ = δ_load(x) + δ_moments(x)

iThe check station recovers 137 + 8.

How to use

1

Enter the loads, the station, the length, the modulus, and the area moment

x must lie on the beam.

2

Read the deflection

The signs of the loads are the signs of their parts of δ.

Check station

M = 4, P = 48, Mt = 4, w = 24, a = 1, x = 2, L = 2, E = 1, I = 1

δ = δ_load(x) + δ_moments(x)

δ = 145
