    Deflection of a cantilever beam with applied tension at the free end

    I'll try to work my way with this formula and see where it gets me. Thank you very much.

    Deflection of a cantilever beam with applied tension at the free end

    I did not see that you added the nomenclature at the end, please ignore what i just said. Anyhow, the equation you provided gives the deflection at the free end of the beam, but is it possible to get the solution for every point along the beam since i want to know the position at which the...

    Deflection of a cantilever beam with applied tension at the free end

    I'm quite confused tbh, but the magnitude of the tension vector is constant, and its final direction depends on the final deflection of the beam since it is along its axis and what i am interested in is how much could the tension vector modify the natural deflection of the beam. Maybe a better...

    Deflection of a cantilever beam with applied tension at the free end

    Not much to add since the question is fairly simple, but again I'm wondering if applying tension at the free end of a cantilever beam affects the deflection it would have if only itself weight is considered. Intuitively, tension should tend to straighten the beam, and if it does, how to...
