Utilize our user-friendly calculator to determine beam deflection for solid rectangular beams. Obtain quick and precise results effortlessly.
Assessing a beam’s deformation under a load involves calculating the beam’s deflection before and after applying the load. The extent of beam deflection is influenced by factors such as its length, cross-sectional area, shape, material composition, the location of the force causing the deflection, and the beam’s support method. This online beam deflection calculator is designed to calculate the deflection of a solid rectangular beam, considering the applied load at the free end and the support at the fixed end. Input the width, height, length, and force to compute the deflection.
Beam Deflection for Solid Rectangular Beams formula
![\[MI_{Solid Rectangular Beam} = \frac{(Height^3 \cdot Width)}{12}\]](https://x-calculator.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-e2fa245d06dda4afa3c048ff401685a3_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
![\[Deflection = \frac{(Length^3 \cdot Force)}{(3 \cdot E \cdot MI)}\]](https://x-calculator.com/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-182a534c3ea76d453728bdcdad809c60_l3.png "Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com")
