Mechanical
Beam Deflection Calculator
Determine the maximum deflection of a simply supported beam under a concentrated point load. Use this when sizing structural beams to ensure they stay within allowable deflection limits.

Mechanical
Shaft Deflection Calculator
Calculates the midpoint or tip deflection of a rotating or static shaft under a transverse load, for both simply supported and cantilever configurations. Used by mechanical engineers to verify shaft stiffness and prevent bearing misalignment.
