Um... well its for an assignment... does the deflection decrease when the thickness and width increase becasue there is more area... like there is less stress because it is spread over a larger area which would cause less deflection?
Homework Statement
Can someone please tell me why in a double cantilever beam (fixed at both ends) the deflection increases when the length increases, the defelction decreases when the width increases and the deflection decreases when the thickness increases. I don't want to no why it does...
