7/24/2019 Defliction and Slope

1/1

Deflection of a Beam : The deflection at any point on the axis of the beam is the distance between

its position before and after loading.

Slope of a Beam :Slope at any section in a deflected beam is defined as the angle in radianswhich the tangent at

the section makes with the original axis of the beam.

Flexural Rigidity of Beam : The Product EI is called flexural rigidity of the beam and is usually constant along the

beam.
