The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...

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 ...

This file type includes high-resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Beam diagrams are used as a fundamental way to teach engineers the basic of static loading. Beams are structural ...
