How Do You Use A Beam Deflection Calculator?
Beam deflection is a mechanical engineering term used to describe the amount of stress that a support beam is put under. Beam deflection is related to the slope of the beam that is under stress from the weight it is supporting. Knowing beam deflection is very important, it has a huge impact on the structural stability of a building. Most building codes require a certain minimum beam deflection, which is calculable. Beam deflection is a very complex formula, and it is best if you use a calculator when calculating beam deflection. Beam deflection calculators are available online, but can be difficult to use. This article will tell you how to use a beam deflection calculator. To use a beam deflection calculator, you will need various pieces of information that will need to be inputted in to the beam deflection calculator. The pieces of information are listed below. • You will need your unit of measure. It will either be inches, or SI metric units. • Modulus of Elasticity will need to be k
