Hey guys, I know this is a simple question but I'm not really sure how to do it.
Let's say we have a beam supported by two pins at both extremes.
There is a central load on the beam, so it will deflect in the direction of the load.
But we also have an axial force compressing the beam.
My question is how do we calculate the beam's deflection? Do we have to add the deflection due to the transverse load and the deflection due to buckling?
Also, how would we find the maximum stress?
Thanks in advance for any help!
