  2. Cantilever method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever_method

    The cantilever method is an approximate method for calculating shear forces and moments developed in beams and columns of a frame or structure due to lateral loads. The applied lateral loads typically include wind loads and earthquake loads, which must be taken into consideration while designing buildings.

  3. Characteristic length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Characteristic_length

    In physics, a characteristic length is an important dimension that defines the scale of a physical system. Often, such a length is used as an input to a formula in order to predict some characteristics of the system, and it is usually required by the construction of a dimensionless quantity, in the general framework of dimensional analysis and in particular applications such as fluid mechanics.

  4. Euler–Bernoulli beam theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euler–Bernoulli_beam_theory

    The curve () describes the deflection of the beam in the direction at some position (recall that the beam is modeled as a one-dimensional object). q {\displaystyle q} is a distributed load, in other words a force per unit length (analogous to pressure being a force per area); it may be a function of x {\displaystyle x} , w {\displaystyle w ...

  5. Cantilever - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cantilever

    Like other structural elements, a cantilever can be formed as a beam, plate, truss, or slab. When subjected to a structural load at its far, unsupported end, the cantilever carries the load to the support where it applies a shear stress and a bending moment. [1] Cantilever construction allows overhanging structures without additional support.

  6. Neutral axis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_axis

    Let L be the original length of the beam ε(y) is the strain as a function of coordinate on the face of the beam. σ(y) is the stress as a function of coordinate on the face of the beam. ρ is the radius of curvature of the beam at its neutral axis. θ is the bend angle

  7. Deflection (engineering) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deflection_(engineering)

    In this case, the equation governing the beam's deflection can be approximated as: = () where the second derivative of its deflected shape with respect to (being the horizontal position along the length of the beam) is interpreted as its curvature, is the Young's modulus, is the area moment of inertia of the cross-section, and is the internal ...

  9. Bending stiffness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bending_stiffness

    It is a function of the Young's modulus, the second moment of area of the beam cross-section about the axis of interest, length of the beam and beam boundary condition. Bending stiffness of a beam can analytically be derived from the equation of beam deflection when it is applied by a force.
