Cantilevers are tiny flexible beams that can adapt ... allowing the cantilever to be thick while remaining flexible enough for high deflection sensitivity," Dr. Hosseini explained.

In this video I take a look at five methods that can be used to predict how a beam will deform when loads are applied to it. These are the double integration method, Macaulay's method, the principle ...

The integrations needed to determine beam deflections require the enforcement of the appropriate displacement and rotation boundary conditions (BCs). It is important that we be able to recognize these ...
