Calculate maximum deflection for Cantilever and Simply Supported beams under point loads.
Reference Module v1.0
δ = (P·L³) / (3·E·I)δ = (P·L³) / (48·E·I)How much will that beam bend? The Beam Deflection Calculator uses Euler-Bernoulli beam theory to predict the displacement of a beam under load.
Civil and Mechanical engineers need to ensure structures don't sag. This tool solves complex differential equations to give you the max deflection instantly.
Supports Cantilever & Simply Supported beams
Point Load and Distributed Load
Calculates Max Deflection
Inputs: Length, Force, Young's Modulus, Inertia
Stiffness depends on material (Young's Modulus) and shape (Moment of Inertia). An I-beam is stiffer than a flat plate because the material is further from the center.
