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.

Deflection of beams is a fundamental concept in structural engineering that plays a critical role in the design of buildings, ...

The large deflection behavior of a cantilever beam subject to an end force or a uniform pressure is more complicated than the previous example because the load deflections are nonlinear for all ...

As the beam extends beyond the support, simple beam deflection is reversed and cantilever beam action is generated. A good example of an overhang beam is a diving board (photo 4).

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 that it is ...
