Beam Deflection Calculator

Calculate the maximum deflection of a simply supported beam under a point load, uniformly distributed load (UDL), or end load using standard Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. Use it to size beams in structural design or to verify deflection stays within serviceability limits (typically L/250 or L/360).

Stress and Strain Calculator

Converts an applied force and cross-sectional area into mechanical stress in MPa. Use it when evaluating whether a structural member, fastener, or machine component will safely withstand an applied load.
