Simply Supported Beam

Point Load at Center: δ = PL³/(48EI)

Uniform Load: δ = 5wL⁴/(384EI)

Cantilever Beam

Point Load at End: δ = PL³/(3EI)

Uniform Load: δ = wL⁴/(8EI)

Fixed-Fixed Beam

Point Load at Center: δ = PL³/(192EI)

Uniform Load: δ = wL⁴/(384EI)

Variables

δ = Deflection (m)

P = Point load (N)

w = Distributed load (N/m)

L = Beam length (m)

E = Elastic modulus (Pa)

I = Moment of inertia (m⁴)
