    Clamped-clamped beam load deflection with residual stress

    Does anybody have any ideas about this? Thanks again in advance.

    Clamped-clamped beam load deflection with residual stress

    Thank you for your response! I have been modeling it as an axial force, but perhaps that is the cause of some of my trouble? Do you recommend modeling it as a UDL? In that case, can I just subtract the force due to stress from the applied force and use that net force quantity in the equation...

    Clamped-clamped beam load deflection with residual stress

    Hello, I have a system that consists of a clamped-clamped beam with a residual stress and am trying to find an equation that governs its deflection due to a point force that takes stress into consideration. A formula I have come across: d = (F*L^3)/(192*E*I) does not accurately model the...
