Deflection of beams is a fundamental concept in structural engineering that plays a critical role in the design of buildings, bridges, and other mechanical structures. When a load is applied to a ...

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it.

Beam #3 The deflection at B and C is zero, as prescribed by the BCs. With the fixed condition at B, the slope at B is also zero. There are no constraints on the slope of the displacement at C. Note ...

When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...
