Finding Equations for Simple Structural Mechanics Problems

[LareeRudi]

I'm out of college for decades, and all my "handbooks" and college books have been packed away and inaccessible for some months.

I need a source, or the equations as follows [all very simple, fundamental stuff; Chap One in "Strength of Materials", so to speak]

1] Beam supported both ends, with W downward force NOT NECESSARILY in the center.
2) Cantilever beam; rigidly affixed to one end, with W downward force at some location.
3] Same as one, but with uniformly distributed load
4] Same as two, but with uniformly distributed load.

When I do searches on the internet, I get thousands, but all in reports, or something; I just need the equations; yes, you may email me if you prefer.

Thank you very much.

This is a page from the EIT handbook.

"Roak's Formulas for Stess & Strain" is a good handbook with every equation for beams I can think of in it. Ton's of equations in it.

Are there more pages available?

This is a page from the EIT handbook.

Available to be "seen". Do YOU have to download ea page, for example as you did in THIS response? The internet is SO big, yet I cannot find the simplest equations as in a textbook.

I DO thank you for your efforts; I was beginning to give up; I've got to dig out [from SOMEWHERE] my old "Strength of Materials" book and Schaum's Outline for same.

The EIT handbook is available to download through the NCEES website Also, take a look at this thread that has a lot of different sources:

If you may need some similar information again try:

"Mark's Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers"

I believe it is on the 10th edition now.

can anyone explain how the formulas where derived - unmathematically. AKA. layman's terms?
