Question

calculate deflection at free end and maximum bending stress​

Answer 1

Answer:

To calculate for the maximum deflection of a beam with a combination of loads, we can use the method of superposition. The method of superposition states that we can approximate the total deflection of a beam by adding together all the deflections brought about by each load configuration.

Answer 2

Answer:

To calculate for the maximum deflection of a beam with a combination of loads, we can use the method of superposition. The method of superposition states that we can approximate the total deflection of a beam by adding together all the deflections brought about by each load configuration.

This is called "maximum surface stress" and is typically represented by the sigma sign. In order to calculate maximum surface stress, you must know the bending moment, the distance from the neutral axis to the outer surface where the maximum stress occurs and the moment of inertia.
