Whenever some external system of forces acts on a body, it undergoes some deformation. As the body undergoes some deformation, it sets up some resistance to the deformation. This resistance per unit area to deformation, is called

A simply supported beam 'A' of length l, breadth b and depth d carried a central point load W. Another bream 'B' has the same length and breadth but its depth is doubled. The deflection of beam 'B' will be double as compared to beam 'A'.
A beam of overall length / rests on two simple supports with equal overhangs on both sides. Two equal loads act at the free ends. If the deflection at the centre of the beam is the same as at either end, then the length of either overhang is
When a no. of loads rest upon a beam, the deflection at any point is equal to the sum of the deflections at this point due to each of the loads taken separately. This is according to
