Cantilever — Point Load
Compute max bending moment and free-end deflection of a cantilever with an end point load.
Inputs
Formula
Mmax = P·L; δ = P L³/(3EI)
How to use
- Fill in Length L, End load P, Young's mod. E, Moment of inertia I in the Inputs section (watch the unit on each field).
- Click Calculate; the tool evaluates the formula shown above.
- Read Max moment Mmax, Free-end defl. δ in the results area.
Formula notesCantilever, tip load P, length L: fixed-end moment M = P·L, deflection δ = P·L³/(3EI).
