SteamyTea Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 (edited) Welcome Beams are fairly easy to understand, it is just the 'odd' units they use, mm4 in the moments of inertia does not sit easily in the mind. But all it means is that you take the 3D sized, width, depth and length, then measure how much it deflects. Good place to start. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/beam-stress-deflection-d_1312.html And moment of inertia. https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/area-moment-inertia-d_1328.html Edited May 9, 2021 by SteamyTea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
