Unit8 ex 8.3-8.4 Deflection by Formulas - Statics and Strength of Materials

There are all sorts of ways to find deflection of a beam due to given loads. For example, double integration, the principle of virtual work, Castigliano's Theorem, and the moment-area method can all be used to find deflection in beams. While I learned many of those methods in my undergraduate and graduate degrees, and the implications of displacement are non-trivial, in practice I ended up using computer programs and basic beam formulas to check beam deflection. In this video, I present a couple of the most typical beam formulas that are useful for everyday beams. Let's be honest, if you need to solve something more complex, you'll probably use a computer program anyway, unless you just love calculus. For reference, here's a link to the American Wood Council's Beam Design Formulas with Shear and Moment Diagrams. https://web-media.awc.org/wp-content/...

It follows a workbook that was authored by Mark Mattson. This workbook is available for purchase and it is suggested that you use a copy of the workbook to actively engage with the material, take notes, and try problems. Additional course resources, like computer-based practice problems, graded feedback on hand calculations, three unit exams and a final exam are included with the course he teaches at SUNY Poly.
