Cantilever Beam Deflection Calculator

Calculate maximum deflection of cantilever beams. UDL (q): δ_max = qL⁴/(8EI) at free tip. Point load (P) at tip: δ_max = PL³/(3EI). Slope at tip: θ = PL²/(2EI).

2D stress state at a point. All stresses in MPa.

σx — Normal Stress X (MPa)
σy — Normal Stress Y (MPa)
τxy — Shear Stress (MPa)
⚙ Mechanical Note: Results are based on standard textbook formulas and ISO/AASHTO references. Always verify critical designs with applicable codes (ISO 898, AASHTO 1993, AISC, Eurocode 3) and a qualified engineer.

How to Use

Enter the values for the patient or scenario you are assessing. Calculate maximum deflection of cantilever beams. UDL (q): δ_max = qL⁴/(8EI) at free tip. Point load (P) at tip: δ_max = PL³/(3EI). Slope at tip: θ = PL²/(2EI). Use the cantilever deflection result to inform your clinical assessment.
