1st order nonlinear - 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.
