1st order linear - Simple cantilever
Problem definition
A 4 long cantilever is subjected to a tip load of 20,000.
Assumptions
Flexural and shear deformations are included.
Key results
| Result | Theoretical formula | Theoretical value | Solver value | % error |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Support Reaction | -P | 20,000 | 20,000 | 0% |
| Support Moment | PL | -80,000 | -80,000 | 0% |
| Tip Deflection | |
-0.0519 | -0.0519 | 0% |
Conclusion
An exact match is observed between the values reported by the solver and the values predicted by beam theory.
