Where F is force in newtons, L is length, E is Young's Modulus (in GPa) L is length of rod (in meters). I used to be able find calculators for this online.
One of you knew abouyt this website that I used to use but what evading my searches: Engineer's Toolobox. Thank you. Now I have the formula for Area Moment of Inertia for a shaft. I am still unable to find the formula for deflection of a shaft supported x distance from the end of the shaft with load N.
What is the question?
ReplyDeleteTrying to calculate deflection of a shaft with E=Young's modulus; L=length; D=diameter
DeleteI use https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/ for finding formulas like these and for data tables on commercially available steel shapes, but I don't believe they have calculators.
ReplyDeleteIncidentally, you're going to need the area moment of inertia of your rod to calculate deflection. There are formulas for that, too, if it's a simple geometric shape.
