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% |
