    This document discusses beam deflection theory and provides formulas to calculate the deflection (y) and slope (θ) for various beam configurations including: 1) A cantilever beam with a point load at the free end 2) A cantilever beam with a uniformly distributed load 3) A simply supported beam with a point load at the middle 4) A simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load The document derives equations relating the bending moment (M), modulus of elasticity (E), second moment of area (I), and radius of curvature (R) and applies these to determine deflection and slope formulas for the standard beam cases.

    GENERAL THEORY
    • When a beam bends it takes up various shapes such as that illustrated in figure
    The shape may be superimposed on an x – y graph with the origin at the left
    end of the beam (before it is loaded). At any distance x meters from the left end,
    the beam will have a deflection y and a gradient or slope dy/dx and it is these
    that we are concerned with in this tutorial.
    • We have already examined the equation relating bending moment and radius of
    M E
    curvature in a beam, namely =
    I R
    • M is the bending moment.
    • I is the second moment of area about the centroid.
    • E is the modulus of elasticity and
    • R is the radius of curvature.
    M 1
    • Rearranging we have IE = R
    • Figure 1 illustrates the radius of curvature
    which is defined as the radius of a circle
    that has a tangent the same as the point on
    the x-y graph.

    • Mathematically it can be shown that any


    curve plotted on x - y graph has a radius
    of curvature of defined as
    𝑑2 𝑦
    1 𝑑𝑥2
    = 3
    𝑅 𝑑𝑦
    [1+𝑑𝑥]2
    • In beams, R is very large and the equation may be simplified without loss of
    accuracy to
    1 𝑑2 𝑥
    =
    R 𝑑𝑦 2
    𝑑2𝑥 M
    =
    𝑑𝑦 2 IE
    𝑑2𝑥
    M = EI
    𝑑𝑦 2
    • The product EI is called the flexural stiffness of the beam.

    • In order to solve the slope (dy/dx) or the deflection (y) at any point on the
    beam, an equation for M in terms of position x must be substituted into equation
    (1A). We will now examine this for the 4 standard cases.
     A cantilever beam with a point load at the end.
     A cantilever beam with a uniformly distributed load.
     A simply supported beam with a point load at the middle.
     A simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load.
