Table 1. Deflections and slopes of cantilever beams

v=

deflection in the y direction (positive upward)

dv/dx
B = B = EI =

Table 2. Deflections and slopes of simple beams

v=

deflection in the y direction (positive upward)

= slope of the deflection curve

C = v(L/2) = deflection at midpoint C of

the beam (downward)

x1 = max = A = B = EI =
1

distance from support A to point of maximum deflection vmax = maximum deflection (downward) angle of rotation at left-hand end of the beam (clockwise) angle of rotation at right-hand end of the beam (counterclockwise) constant
