About the Beam Deflection Calculator

The Beam Deflection Calculator is an engineering tool. It finds the maximum displacement of a simple cantilever beam with a point load. A cantilever beam is only supported at one end. This calculation is key for engineers to make sure a beam can safely support its load without bending too much.

How to Use the Beam Deflection Calculator

  1. Enter the Load (P) in Newtons.
  2. Enter the total Length (L) of the beam in meters.
  3. Enter the Modulus of Elasticity (E) in Gigapascals (GPa). This value shows the material's stiffness.
  4. Enter the Area Moment of Inertia (I). This value shows the beam's resistance to bending.

The calculator will instantly find the maximum deflection at the end of the beam.
