    Deflection of a beam - Two point loads simply supported

    SteamKing, Brilliant, seems to all check out when compared to experimental results! Yes must remember to use the correct figures i.e. *103. Have a good day and once again thank you for your help, Jack

    Deflection of a beam - Two point loads simply supported

    Again, thank you for helping me with this. Ok, all taken on board. When typing the slope equation out I appear to have missed out the x, but have correctly typed my workings for the deflection equation; with the correct formatting: EI y = (2.5/6)*[x-0]3 - (11.5/6)*[x-0.4]3 + (15.5/6)*[x-0.8]3...

    Deflection of a beam - Two point loads simply supported

    SteamKing, Fantastic! Some really great information here thank you very much! The attachment is very helpful, there is also a small example of overhangs which agrees with the advice you have given: treat this as an ordinary beam. Quote from attachment: 'Though the 6.5 kN load is to the right...
