Bending Beam Calculation

This app allows you to calculate and display the elastic line of a beam with a fixed and a movable bearing.

The beam length, the movable bearing postion and the forces can be entered on appropriate surfaces. Then the app shows lateral force curves, bending moments, the slope of the elastic line and the bending line itself. In addition, students can compare their own calculations with ​intermediate results.
