E = Modulus of Elasticity psi

(N/mm2)

I = Moment of Inertia in4 (mm4)
W =  Beam Load lbs (N)
s =  Beam Stress at the cross-section being evaluated Lbs/in2 (N/mm2)
y = Beam Deflection inches (mm)
x = Some distance as indicated inches (mm)
u = Some distance as indicated inches (mm)
a, b = Some distance as indicated inches (mm)
L = Some distance as indicated inches (mm)
l = Some distance as indicated inches (mm)
Z =
section modulus of the cross-section of the beam = I/z in3 (mm3)
z =
distance from neutral axis to extreme fiber (edge) inches (mm)
  • Please note letter "l " (lower case "L") is different than "I" (Moment of Inertia).
  • Deflections apply only to constant cross sections along entire length.
