Formulas

Core equations used by this calculator.

Deflection at xδ = δ_end triangle(x) + δ_uniform(x)
ix = L/2 recovers 3 w0 L⁴/(640 E I) + 5 w L⁴/(384 E I).

How to use

1

Enter the peak intensity, the uniform intensity, the station, the span, the modulus, and the area moment

x must lie strictly between the supports.

2

Read the deflection

The signs of w0 and w are the signs of their parts of δ.

Example calculations

Common configurations with formula and result.

ϟ

Midspan

w0 = 24, w = 24, x = 1, L = 2, E = 1, I = 1

δ = δ_end triangle(x) + δ_uniform(x)
δ = 6.8

Definition
A simply supported beam carries a triangle that is w0 at both supports and 0 at midspan, plus a uniform load w. Deflection at x is the sum of those two elastic curves.
What it calculates
Deflection at a stated station for an end-peaked triangle plus a uniform load.
Inputs
  • w0
  • w
  • x
  • L
  • E
  • I
Outputs
  • delta
Formula
Sum of the end-peaked triangle curve and the uniform curve.
Assumptions
  • Calculation runs locally in the browser; values are not uploaded.
  • Keep units consistent with the labels on each field.
  • x = L/2 recovers 3 w0 L⁴/(640 E I) + 5 w L⁴/(384 E I).
Units
  • w0, w, x, L, E, and I set the deflection unit.
Boundary conditions
  • missing w0, w, x, L, E, or I → MISSING_REQUIRED_INPUT
  • L ≤ 0, E ≤ 0, or I ≤ 0 → VALUE_MUST_BE_POSITIVE
  • x ≤ 0 or x ≥ L → INVALID_INPUT
Example
w0=24 w=24 x=1 L=2 E=1 I=1 → δ=6.8
Validation cases

  • w0=24 w=24 x=1 L=2 E=1 I=1 → δ=6.8
  • x=2 → INVALID_INPUT
Sources
  • Hibbeler, Mechanics of Materials — Deflection of beams — superposition
    Supports: An end-peaked triangular load and a uniform load superpose.
  • Gere and Goodno, Mechanics of Materials — Deflection of beams — two distributed loads
    Supports: Supports adding the elastic curves of the two actions.

Frequently asked questions

Key distinctions behind the calculation.

Does midspan match the two midspan pages?

Yes. x = L/2 gives δ = 1.8 + 5 = 6.8 for w0 = 24, w = 24, and L = 2.
