Calculate deflection at tip of cantilever: point load δ = PL³/(3EI), UDL δ = wL⁴/(8EI). Slope at tip: point load θ = PL²/(2EI). L4 dependency means doubling span increases deflection 16×.
2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.
Enter the values for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate deflection at tip of cantilever: point load δ = PL³/(3EI), UDL δ = wL⁴/(8EI). Slope at tip: point load θ = PL²/(2EI). L4 dependency means doubling span increases deflection 16×. Use the cantilever deflection result to inform your clinical assessment.
