Question regarding Double cantilevered Beam

[Saladsamurai]

I was just looking around for a formula for the deflection of a center-loaded beam that is cantilevered at both ends.

For some reason my text does not have one. It does however have the deflection of a beam cantilevered at its end and I am thinking the two cases should be very similar if not identical, but I am having trouble rationalizing (or un-rationalizing) this.

Can someone clue me in here?

thanks,
Casey

Oh! I just had a thought. I could use the formula for the center-loaded single cantilevered beam

+

The formula for a an end-loaded cantilevered beam (opposite direction) whose end-load is equal to the reaction force of the other cantilever...

I will play with this for a while.

You can superimpose results. That is the way to go. However, one quick search did turn up this link:

I believe you're looking at the third from the bottom.
