Description

Deflection is the perfect tool for analyzing internal beam stresses under load. It allows you to edit the dimensions of the beam's cross section, and it plots the internal shear and bending stresses along the beam's axes.

INTERNAL STRESSES

Obtain internal bending and shear stress diagrams in addition to shear, bending, and deflection diagrams. The internal stresses can be visualized along the length of the beam as well as along the vertical axis of the cross section.

CROSS SECTION EDITOR

Edit built-in cross sections. Moment of inertia and area values are automatically calculated and applied to the rest of the beam calculations.

MORE FEATURES

• The built-in database contains more data for your reference and convenience.
• Apply beam self-weight optionally
• Unlimited design files
• Quick-start templates

I love this application so much.

If you are mechanical, civil engineer or chemical engineer or some, you should get this app.

This is really accurate and compact to use at site and office.

I really appreciate for this app to the developer.

You are my HERO.

Needs polishing

Kinda klunky interface. The calculator layout is poor. Calculator needs means of entering scientific notation. Missing aluminum extrusions. Should have a way to favorite beam shapes and add user defined ones. I prefer scientific notation normalized to be x.xx x10^x not xxx.x x10^x

Not sure why 10x length limitation.

Developer Response ,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback and requests! We always have to make a tradeoff between polishing existing features and rolling out new ones, but over time we try to address all sharp corners, so thanks for pointing some of them out!

Regarding the 10X requirement: The equations that the app uses internally assume that the beam is "slender", meaning that the length-to-height ratio should be greater than 10. If you need to design for something shorter, you may need to use a different type of analysis tool. You can find a mention of this in the general Wikipedia article on Beam Deflection https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

Great Application for quick accurate beam evaluations

Great sanity check software before delving into a solid model evaluation
