• Calculate the deflections in stepped shafts more quickly and accurately by combining engineering knowledge with mathematics software. • Use Castigliano’s theorem and the Heavyside step function help ...
When used in structural engineering, the term deflection refers to load-induced displacement, which typically affects beam designs. It can be an extremely complicated value to calculate when ...
Use the four-step plan: 1. Equilibrium - FBD of BCD and writing down the equilibrium equations. 2. Load/deflection/thermal - Write down the load/deflection equation for each of the two elements: e = ...
