Beam Deflection Calculator

Read full description

Advanced Deflection Analysis for Non-Prismatic Beams ​Standard formulas are often insufficient for calculating the deflection of beams with varying cross-sections. This application utilizes an iterative calculation method to provide highly accurate structural analysis results. ​By entering the required parameters, the app instantly calculates: ​Mid-span deflection ​Support shear forces ​Mid-span moment values ​The most critical point location based on the beam's moment-to-height ratio. ​Key Features: ​Automatic Dead Load Calculation: The program automatically accounts for the beam's self-weight. ​Flexible Loading: Users can easily input additional superimposed loads. ​Versatile Cross-Sections: Support for Rectangular, T-beam, and I-beam sections. ​Fixed or Variable Height: By setting h1 and h2 heights as equal, you can also perform calculations for constant-height (prismatic) beams. ​Material Customization: Easily analyze beams made of different materials by adjusting density and the Modulus of Elasticity (E). ​Designed for structural engineers, students, and architects who need precise results for complex beam geometries.
