STRENGTH OF MACHINES
L = length of beam
a = distance to force (F) from left end of beam
b = distance from force (F) to right end of beam
E = modulus of elasticity of beam material
I = area moment of inertia of cross-sectional area about axis through centroid
The maximum deflection ( max ) occurs at the free end, and is given by Eq. (2.67),
Fb 2
max = (3L − b) at x = 0 (2.67)
