Calculate the Slope and Deflection of a Cantilever Beam
Calculate the cantilever beam with a load at any point using our free online calculator. Whether you're a civil engineer, structural engineer, or involved in structural analysis, this tool simplifies the process. Utilize this user-friendly online calculator to compute the slope and deflection of a cantilever beam caused by a concentrated load at any specified point.
How to Use the Calculator
- Externally Applied Load (lbs): Enter the concentrated load applied to the cantilever beam.
- Elastic Modulus (lbs): Input the elastic modulus for the material of the beam.
- Area Moment of Inertia (inches^4): Specify the area moment of inertia for the cross-section of the beam.
- Length of the Beam (inches): Enter the length of the cantilever beam.
- Load Position (inches): Indicate the position of the load along the beam.
- Distance of Load from One End of the Support (inches): Specify the distance of the load from one end of the support.
By providing these parameters, you can accurately calculate the slope and deflection of the cantilever beam.
Benefits of Using the Calculator
