Calculation Formula

Deflection (δ) = (5 * w * L⁴) / (384 * E * I)

Where:
w = Distributed Load (N/m)
L = Span Length (m)
E = Elastic Modulus (Pa)
I = Moment of Inertia (m⁴)

Result

Maximum Deflection (δ): 0.00 m

Overview

The Schmitz Formula Calculator is used to calculate the maximum deflection of a beam under a distributed load. This formula is particularly useful in civil and mechanical engineering for designing beams and supports.

How to Use

  1. Enter the distributed load (w) in Newtons per meter (N/m)
  2. Enter the span length (L) in meters (m)
  3. Enter the elastic modulus (E) in Pascals (Pa)
  4. Enter the moment of inertia (I) in meters to the fourth power (m⁴)
  5. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the maximum deflection
  6. Click the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over

Formula Explanation

The formula used for calculating the maximum deflection (δ) is:

δ = (5 * w * L⁴) / (384 * E * I)

This formula assumes a simply supported beam with a uniformly distributed load.

Applications

This calculator can be used in various engineering applications including:

  • Designing bridges and roof structures
  • Calculating stress and deformation in beam structures
  • Optimizing material selection for beam construction
