ddd Here we display a specific beam loading case. Integrated into each beam case is a calculator that can be used to determine the maximum displacements, slopes, moments, stresses, and shear forces for this beam problem. Note that the maximum stress quoted is a positive number, and corresponds to the largest stress magnitude in the beam. It does not distinguish between tension or compression (this distinction depends on which side of the beam's neutral plane your c input corresponds).

Calculator Input Length of beam, L: Load on beam, P: Young's Modulus, E: Distance from neutral axis to extreme fibers, c: Moment of Inertia, I:

Caution! The Maximum Deflection of your beam is large. One of the assumptions in beam theory is that deflections are small. Use the calculator results with caution.
