Where:

E = Modulus of Elasticity psi
I = Area Moment of Inertia in4
W = Load, Total lbf
w = Unit Load lbs/in
yx = Deflection at x ≤ L inches
yx1 = Deflection at x1 ≤ a inches
M1, = Moment @ formula calc'd distance x lbs-in
MB, = Moment @ B lbs-in
Mx = Moment @ distance x lbs-in
Mx1 = Moment @ distance x1 ≤ a lbs-in
a, b, c, d, x, L = Some distance as indicated inches
RA = Reaction force at support A lbf
RB = Reaction force at support B lbf
V1 = Shear Load see Figure 1 lbf
V2 = Shear Load see Figure 1 lbf
Vx = Shear Load see Figure 1 lbf
Vx1 = Shear Load see Figure 1 lbf
θA = Slope Angle @ x = 0 Rad
θx = Slope Angle Rad
θB = Slope Angle @ x1 = 0 Rad
θC = Slope Angle @ see equation Rad
θx1 = Slope Angle Rad
  • Deflections apply only to constant cross sections along entire length.
