Beam Deflection Calculator

Estimate max deflection for a simply-supported beam with center load.

Beam Deflection Calculator helps you Estimate max deflection for a simply-supported beam with center load. Use it to solve technical problems quickly when you need accurate intermediate values and final outputs for class, lab, or engineering work. The form is specific to this tool and captures inputs like Load P (N), Span L (m), and Elastic modulus E (Pa), so required data is explicit before you run it. After running, review sections like Beam Deflection Inputs and Result to interpret results and verify they fit your real-world constraints. Save the exact inputs together with the result so teammates can reproduce and audit the output later.

Beam Deflection Inputs

Simply supported beam with center point load: delta = PL^3/(48EI)

Result

Max deflection: 0.0001041667 m

How to use this tool

  1. Enter the required fields for beam deflection calculator, including Load P (N), Span L (m), and Elastic modulus E (Pa), and verify units/format before running.
  2. Click “Run” to run the tool.
  3. Review Beam Deflection Inputs and Result, then rerun with one alternate input set to confirm sensitivity before final use.
