What the deflection beam?

Deflection of beam means amount by which beam gets deflected from its original position.


Which one have more deflection hollow beam or solid beam?

solid beam have more deflection


Why does a longer beam length mean greater deflection?

Deflection of beam depends upon load and length of beam. Larger the beam, larger will be it's selfweight


What is a deflection in cantilever beam?

it will depend upon the load and moment applied on the beam.


what is the deflection of a simple supported beam with point load?

Deflection of simply supported beam is given by P*l^3/(48E) Where P= point load at centre of beam l= length of beam E= Modules of elasticity


What is the conclusion of the deflection of siply supported beam?

Q


Why electromagnetic deflection is used in tv-crt rather than electrostatic as in cro?

Electromagnetic deflection is used because it can create greater deflection angles of the electron beam compared to electrostatic deflection.


What is a elastic coupled beam?

Two beams are said to be elastically coupled when central deflection in the lower beam (due to load on midspan) is equal to the central deflection on the upper beam plus the extension in suspension rod by which both are suspended


What is the purpose of camber in steel beam?

Camber is the amount of deflection provided in the opposite direction of loadings. That is when the beam is subjected to Vertical downward loadings, the beam has a tendency of deflecting downwards. In this case, camber value is to be given in the upward direction so that when it is fully loaded condition, the beam would have almost zero deflection. Similarly, when the beam is subjected to vertical upward loadings, the camber value is to be given in downward direction. The purpose of camber in steel beam is to have almost zero deflection w.r.t.o beam axis after loading of beam as highlighted earlier. by R.Ravichandran, Chennai-49


What is use of calculating support reaction of a beam?

you will need that to calculate the strength and deflection of the beam, and also strength of the support itself


What happens to a beam when force is applied?

The beam will deflect in the direction of the load This is Hooke's law, which states that load is proportional to deflection


How does deflection of a beam vary with moment of inertia?

Deflection is inversely proportional to moment of inertia, the larger the moment of inertia the smaller the deflection. Deflection is (with a simple centerloaded beam) is PL^3/48EI The various deflections are as follows: (i) for a simply supported beam with point load (center)=PL^3/48EI (ii) // // // UDL= 5PL^4/384EI (iii) for a cantilever with point load= PL^3/3EI (iv) // // with UDL= PL^4/8EI visit deflection calculator http://civilengineer.webinfolist.com/str/sdcalc.htm
