Beam Bending Theory compared to Real-world examples

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on the need for resources that compare theoretical beam bending analysis with real-world applications. Participants suggest looking into "LFRD Steel Design" by William T. Segui, noting its theoretical emphasis but usefulness for understanding practical implications. There is a shared interest in finding credible articles, journals, or books that address the discrepancies between simplified models and actual performance under load. The conversation highlights the challenge of sourcing quality references for academic assignments in this area. Overall, the quest for reliable literature on beam bending theory versus real-world effects remains a priority.

Does anyone know of any good articles, journals or books that discuss the difference between simplified theoretical analysis of a beam under load and the actual real life effects?

Need to do some reading up for an assignment but I'm having trouble finding anything of any merit!

Cheers in advance for any references!

Try: LFRD Steel Design by William T. Segui.

It's mostly theory since it is a textbook, but I have found it useful.
 

Thread 'Measuring Deer Antler Volume'

My idea is that I want to use immerse Whitetail Antlers in a fishtank to measure their volumetric displacement (the Boone and Crockett system is the current record measurement standard to place in a juxtaposition with) I would use some sight glass plumbed into the side of the tank to get the change in height so that I can multiply by the tank cross-section. Simple Idea. But... Is there a simple mechanical way to amplify the height in the sight glass to increase measurement precision...
