There are many established methods of solving deflection of beam. Some notable methods are as follows.

  1. Double integration method
  2. Area-moment method
  3. Method of superposition
  4. Conjugate beam method
  5. Castigliano's Theorem

The most widely used are the method of superposition and area-moment method. Links are provided in the related linksfor you to read the procedure for each method and many examples in simply supported beams.

what is the deflection of a simple supported beam with point load?

Deflection of simply supported beam is given by P*l^3/(48E) Where P= point load at centre of beam l= length of beam E= Modules of elasticity


What are the different between simply supported restrained beam and simply supported unrestrained beam?

because the deflection in simple suported beam is more due to the orestriction at the ends as the ends are freely supported by twoo supports


What is propped simply supported beam?

A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A propped cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation) and simply supported ( no translation) at the other end. A cantilever beam is a beam which is fixed at one end ( no translation or rotation). A simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends. A propped simply supported beam is a beam which is simply supported at both ends and simply supported at some other point such as at the center, to reduce deflection under load. Propped beams are statically indeterminate.

What is the advantage and disadvantages of fixed beams?

There isn't really an advantage of having a fixed beam vs. a simply supported beam, it depends on what application the beam is for. If one of the design criteria of the beam is that it be able to deflect from one end to another then you are going to want to use a fixed beam. For example such applications could include a diving bored. A simply supported beam differs from a fixed beam because the beam is supported at both ends. Thus when a simply supported beam is loaded, the deflection will occur throughout the beam, since the ends are confined and will remain as they were. Furthermore on a fixed beam, (the end that is fixed) will have restrictive forces and moments keeping the end from moving.


How does deflection of a beam vary with moment of inertia?

Deflection is inversely proportional to moment of inertia, the larger the moment of inertia the smaller the deflection. Deflection is (with a simple centerloaded beam) is PL^3/48EI The various deflections are as follows: (i) for a simply supported beam with point load (center)=PL^3/48EI (ii) // // // UDL= 5PL^4/384EI (iii) for a cantilever with point load= PL^3/3EI (iv) // // with UDL= PL^4/8EI visit deflection calculator http://civilengineer.webinfolist.com/str/sdcalc.htm

What is use of calculating support reaction of a beam?

you will need that to calculate the strength and deflection of the beam, and also strength of the support itself


What the deflection beam?

Deflection of beam means amount by which beam gets deflected from its original position.
