Centre Loaded Beam
The elastic deflection on a beam, loaded at its centre, supported by two simple supports is given by:
where:
- δ = the deflection of the beam
- F = force acting on the centre of the beam
- L = length of the beam between the supports
- E = modulus of elasticity
- I = area moment of inertia
